Galloway III as he prepares to retire from Galloway & Sons Funeral Home in Beeville in 2025, marking the end of a distinguished 65-year career with the company founded by his grandfather in 1919.

It expresses gratitude for his dedication and professionalism, which have positively impacted the citizens of Beeville. The Texas House of Representatives extends its best wishes for his future endeavors and plans to provide an official copy of the resolution as a token of high regard.
