      Richard V. Galmish, 64, of 612 Vine Rd., St. Marys, died Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2018 at home, passing quietly with his wife and two children by his side after a two-year battle with lung cancer.

      He was born March 26, 1953 in St. Marys, son of the late William and Margaret Prechtl Galmish.

      On Feb. 14, 2001 in Johnsonburg, he married Debra J. Croyle, who survives.

      Richard was a carpenter by trade and loved doing his carpentry work. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and spending all the time he could with his grandchildren.

      In addition to his wife, he is survived by two siblings, Paula Galmish and Ken Galmish; two children, Stephanie Galmish of St. Marys and Stephen Galmish of Ridgway; his stepchildren, Ryan Smith of Kane, Travis Smith of Fredonia, New York and Erik Smith of Kane; his grandchildren, Brandi Clyde, Brayden Clyde and Eve Galmish; and step-grandchildren Evan Smith, Keigan Smith, Serenity, Alia Smith, Cole Smith, Connor Smith and Gracelyn Smith.

      In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Denny Galmish; a sister-in-law, Linda Galmish; one sister, Linda Stewart; and nieces and nephews Gwen, Michelle, Richard and Steven Stewart.
