Perry D. Galvin was born July 18, 1932 in Minneapolis. Perry enlisted in the United States Navy and served for four years. He graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Journalism. On October 20, 1954 he married Marian Peter in St. Paul. After college he worked at the Gazette in Redwood Falls for one year before moving to New Ulm and working at the New Ulm Journal and KNUJ for 40 years. He was a member of the Cathedral Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Rotary, New Ulm Jaycees, Lions and the Farm City Hub Club.

In 2001 Perry and Marian relocated to Green Valley, AZ. They spent the next 14 years there where Perry enjoyed a good round of golf with his Tuesday’s Men’s group. Perry and Marian then moved to Fredericksburg, VA in 2015 to be near their daughters.

Perry will be remembered for his “Galvin Groaner’s” on KNUJ, his one-liners, his warm personality and his avid love for sports. Most importantly, he was a devoted husband and wonderful father and grandfather who loved his family. Blessed be his memory.
