William Galvin

October 23, 1936 - November 3, 2026

Boston born and bred. His music took him around the world, but his heart never left Nantasket Beach.

Destined for Nashville…50+ years living his dream in the Music City.

His memory carries on near and far, especially with a loving family of kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.

“I’ve had a helluva run. All my heroes became my friends.” Billy Galvin

A private family gathering will be held at a later date.

As a tribute to his long-time relationship with Danny Thomas and the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, memorial donations can be made here:
