I did not personally know James, but the Galusha name brings back such good memories to me of his parents Bud and Gertrude and his Uncle Harold and Aunt Delores. My sincere condolences to all the family. I wish I had known Jim. His obituary and photo tell me that he was indeed a good man. Sincerely, Bob Cook
