In Memory

Jim Galway

Jim Galway

James Marshall Galway, age 79 of Lewes, DE, passed away on Wednesday, August 17, 2022, at his home, after a mercifully short battle with cancer. He was born on June 3, 1943 in Glen Ridge, NJ, son of the late John and Grace Galway.

Mr. Galway was a graduate of Montclair High School, Class of 1961 and American University, 1965, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business. He was a proud veteran, having honorably served in the US Navy as a Lieutenant and Naval aviator. Mr. Galway continued his career in flight as a pilot for corporate flight management companies, ending at J.P. Morgan Chase, from which he retired in 2011, after 19 dedicated years. He liked golfing, hitting the links at every opportunity, enjoyed boating and all that coastal living had to offer. Above all, Mr. Galway cherished time with those he held most dear. He was a loving and devoted husband, brother, uncle, and friend. Loved by many, he will be genuinely missed by all who had the good fortune to know him.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Galway was preceded in death by his stepson, Jake W. Plumstead; his in-laws: William and Ida Nash; and his brother-in-law, Charles Kapp. He is survived by his beloved wife, Carolyn Galway of Lewes, DE; his sisters: Mary Grace Kapp of Wyckoff, NJ, Gail Braxton (Harrison) of Fredericksburg, VA, and Sally Galway of San Francisco, CA; his nephews: Harrison Braxton III of Saratoga Springs, NY and William Braxton of Roanoke, VA; his niece, Grace Anne Braxton of Fredericksburg, VA; and his brother-in-law, William Nash of Milford, DE.

Jim, Shamus, as we referred to him on the team, was one of our toughest & nicest team members.  Many fine memories.

Such a sweet temperament and quiet grace to Shamus. Many hours of fun with that Art Artale and I shared with Jim and Nina Byron on double dates. Sad to think of him gone though I haven't had contact with him for so, so long.

It's always so sad to add another name to the In Memory list.  I remember Jim with the reddish hair, a friendly guy with lots of friends.  RIP Jim.

From Carol Bartholomew: “ I did not know Jim well, but Gary T loved him very much and spoke frequently of his humorous comments. He did well in his life as reported. Be at rest Shamus.

Jim was easy to know and like. A calm demeanor with a good sense of humor. A man of values which his life demonstrated. Peace my friend.
