Michael L. Galford 58 of Bartow, ended his six year battle with cancer on September 27th, 2022.
Michael was born at the Marlinton Hospital to the late Earl Henry and Ada Marie Galford.
Mike was a Sawmill Mechanic for 18 years at Allegheny Wood Products. He was a member of the Riverside Masonic Lodge #124 and he was also a former volunteer firefighter and EMT with the BFD.
