Early Monday morning, March 25, 2024, Reginald Vernon
Galloway of Bible Hill passed away peacefully with his family at his
side at East Cumberland Lodge, Pugwash. Reg will be missed
by his wife, Barbara Galloway (Farrell); children, Lisa Galloway
(Peter), Reg Galloway, and Barb’s children, Sandra and
Michael; as well his sister, Maria Kinlough (Richard) and many nieces
and nephews. Reg was predeceased by his father, Reginald Galloway of
Darlington England and mother, Elsie Stannis (Fox) of Oakville,
Ontario.
Reg was born in Darlington, England and was raised until the
age of 13 by his paternal grandparents. At 13, he was reunited with
his mother and sister and immigrated to Montreal, Canada. He joined
the Canadian Navy at an early age and sailed all over the world. He
became a mechanic and continued in the trade most of his life. That is
not to say that is all he did. He was a man of many talents and
mastered most anything he put his mind to. He could fix or build
anything.
He loved woodworking and enjoyed making furniture for his
family and friends. He also built a few houses in his time. Reg was
always there to help family and friends with any renovation projects.
He even took a turn at fixing or tuning up golf carts. He loved to fix
them up, get them ready for the next season and even learned
upholstery to fix and replace old seats.
Reg had a few passions: cooking, golf and westerns. Reg loved
cooking. He would create amazing meals for his friends and family and
loved trying out new recipes. Golfing was his passion and like all
things he did he excelled at it. He loved westerns from reading them
to watching his favourite John Wayne movies. His best day would be
golfing usually with his friend, Rollie or brother-in-law, John or
watching a tournament on TV, spending time with Barb, trying a new
recipe for supper and finishing up the evening with a John Wayne
movie.
Reg was lovingly cared for at the North Cumberland Memorial
Hospital and then the East Cumberland Lodge in Pugwash. The family is
grateful for the care he received by the Doctors, RNs, CCAs and all
other staff. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Reg to East
Cumberland Lodge Memorial Fund
(www.thelodgeinpugwash.com/donations/.) are

Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall –

Reg’s life will be held 2-4 pm, Friday, April 12, 2024.
