In Memoriam
Joseph Galano 1945-2025
In sad news, we lost our beloved colleague, Joseph Galano, last month following an 18 year battle with Huntington’s Disease. Dr. G was admired by all who met him, and his commitment to community health and prevention will live on in the department and surrounding communities. Upon his retirement in 2010 we established the Joseph Galano Fund for Community Service. This fund recognizes and supports students who have engaged in exceptional efforts to promote community well-being through their service and experience both in and out of the classroom. April is nationally recognized as Child Abuse Prevention Month, a cause that was dear to Joe. Our department is committed to continuing Joe’s work in this and other areas. You can support our efforts in Joe’s name by giving specifically to the Joseph Galano Fund for Community Service (Fund #1650)
