UPDATE 6/21/2011
Message from Denny's family:
For all of you who have been asking. We as a family have decided to have donations made to Winfield/Foley Fire Department in lou of flowers. Here is the information you will need if you are interested in making a donation: WFFA Winfield Foley Firefighters Association PO Box 118 Winfield, MO 63389 Make checks payable to WFFA. And note Denny Galkowski Training Fund. Be sure your address is on the check. An acknowledgment will be sent back to you for your donation. The family will be notified of your gift as well. Denny was a firm believer in continuing education for emergency service personnel to ensure their safety and the safety of the citizen. Winfield Foley Firefighters Association will develop and maintain a training fund to be used directly for District Firefighter. Thank you again for the kindness you have shown the family during this difficult time.
Arrangements for Past Commodore Denny Galkowski:
There will be a Memorial Mass at Immmaculate Conception Church, 110 Maryknoll Drive, Old Monroe, MO. on Monday 20th June, at 10:00 AM. No other arrangements are planned.
Past Commodore (2009) Denny Galkowski passed away following complications from surgery after he had suffered a stroke.
Denny was my mentor and Commodore my year as Fleet Captain and I could not have done it without his help and input. He was a very strong supporter of both the Con Trios Yacht Club and the Blessing of the Fleet, having served as a Board Member on both organizations.
Denny was a Paramedic with the St. Charles County Ambulance District. He was an accomplished boater along with his lovely wife Pat in the cruiser "2XS" out of Polestar Marina. Denny will be sorely missed by all of us.
Our Condolences, Prayers and Love go out to Pat and their family at this sad time.
Please refrain from contacting Pat as she desperately needs private time with family while she mourns this unexpected loss.
