RONAN — Robert H. Galbraith, 87, of Ronan, passed peacefully, with his loving wife, Ruth, by his side on Wednesday, June 15, 2016. Bob was born on June 12, 1929, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
After graduating from Boiling Springs High School, he married Mary E. Miller. He spent most of his career as a contractor.
