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.
