Church, family priorities for Victor Gallenstein
Victor Gallenstein of Maysville was a dedicated family man, loyal friend, hardworking employee and supporter of his church - but he would have been mortified to be publicly recognized.
The former machinist had great faith, and he served on the first parish council
of St. Patrick Church in Maysville.
"He was a very humble person," said a son, Jerome Gallenstein of Maysville.
Victor Gallenstein died Friday at his home.
He was 87.
Mr. Gallenstein was a native of Maysville.
In 1930, he was a member of St. Patrick High School's first graduating class.
He studied at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., and at another Catholic college in La Crosse, Wis.
He cut short his college career to return home and help support his parents during the Depression.
Mr. Gallenstein worked as a machinist at two Maysville companies: Wald Manufacturing for seven years and the Carnation Can Co. for 32 years.
"He was a skilled machinist, and I can tell you this: I worked there a short time myself and he was very highly cherished and respected," said Jerome Gallenstein.
"He was a partner of his peers."
Victor Gallenstein retired in the early 1970s and was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
Survivors include another son, Joseph Patrick Gallenstein of Maysville; daughters, Lois Ann Klei of Sarasota, Fla., and Mary Jane Schumacher of Maysville; sisters, Marie Brammer of Maysville and Virginia Ring of Cincinnati; 19 grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
