I would like to offer my very sincere condolences to all of the Joe Galie family direct in person. I just learned of Joes passing to be with our heavenly father to Shepard him as he had with me. I would love nothing more to be the person to tell my story of what it was Joe saw in myself to set me up for success for my future. I so badly miss Joe. Joe, I so badly want to tell you how you formed a person, a worker, a father, a respectful community figure, a husband, a godly figure all molded from your values. This Joe, I will always be endowed from everything you had molded me in the best 4 years old budddy!!
Family, Please call Matt Bender @ 717-515-2111. 
I would love to sit with the family and sincerely tell you about Joe and I connection. It was a true life  changing story. I owe ALL of my success that started from my loving buddy JOE. I MISS YOU JOE! Forever Matthew Bender.

Dear Galie family:  I am writing this note 2 weeks after Joe’s passing so the direct effect of him being gone has now sunk in. I first met Joe in 1972 as my vo-tech welding instructor. From the very  beginning anybody that met Joe liked him and I and all his other students liked him very much. He enjoyed what his students enjoyed being music, cars, and motorcycles. I don’t need to tell you how blessed Joe was with many talents and was a master at many endeavors. He loved to learn new things and often excelled at new ideas and concepts. But i think Joe loved motorcycles and fast riding more than anything else i can remember.   I can tell you for certain that the things Joe taught me as a 17 year old student changed my life forever. Both skills and discipline made a huge dirrene nce in my life outcome today. He was an irreplaceable mentor and myself along with many others were greatly affected by his influence. He and i would occasionally disagree about a few things but he changed the lives of many young people for the good…that is for certain.   In closing i can say i will never forget the things Joe hlped me with and the great times i spent with him riding motorcycles and enjoying life.  Sincerely yours,Jeffrey N. Millhouse

To a man that we all admire most. Joe, I will miss our small talk at the end of each race, always laughing, upbeat, and most of all your kindness. Our condolences to Joe Jr. and the Galie family. We may have lost a friend but we gained a new course to the road to heaven with Joe leading the way. Until we meet again. Godspeed Joe!!

Dear Galie family,
Please accept my condolences. I was saddened to read of Joe’s passing in todays paper. Joe did various welding projects for me at Armstrong Research Center. My wife, Annie, and I enjoyed dancing to the great tunes Joe’s band played. Joe was well liked as he has an engaging personality. In sincere sympathy, Ray Huber

Met Joe at the old Armstrong R&D in 1962 after high school in Columbia.  Remember him as a great person who drove an old
sports car.  We took judo lessons together after work. I only worked there for a year before heading west to attend college.
Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Please know there is not a better man that can enter the WELDED gates upstairs to the ELITE! Angels walk this earth and some people are lucky to meet and spend time with such a person. A MENTOR to my son, teaching Ryan patience, welding and the love for speed, Ryan Flosser could have drawn the straw for the best teacher that walked this earth ! as well as a GOOD MAN !!. Joe lived with NO FEAR because he loved God’s idea of give it YOUR ALL! He gave everything he had and more ! LOVE JOE !!! An ANGEL foresure. My Pop will be there to WELCOME JOE HOME !
Prayers to hold the family  in their time of loss. Cindy Findley
