Galba Bright - Memorial to A Friend

Galba Bright recently passed away in his office ... without warning. We stand with Sandra, through tears, and shock and deep saddness ... we mourn the world’s loss of so great a human.

Galba Bright was a much beloved friend, a colleague, a brother and a deeply inspired thinker. His words nudged others to do well and his used his brain to help people find well-being.galba.jpg

Galba's  messages came from depth and care for a broken world! He challenged us all with his images of humans who made emotional intelligence an added value to their lives. He wrote of many related topics here on my blog.

Always curious ... he led us all on topics such as leadership ...  where he described how to manage positive change. He also wrote at the brainbasedbusiness site about creating personal space in spite of busy leadership demands. He asked me questions that took days to ponder, added insights about herd mentality and always taught us gems from his beloved work on emotional intelligence.

I learned from Galba and gained great delight in sharing my own MITA brain based ideas with him. We spoke of the value and delight of doing a project together - and it was so meaningful to me that this would happen in ways that benefited others. That was Galba’s amazing clarion call.

To learn of such a precious friend passing is to be reminded that life is short and unpredictable. May we all see the best in others as Galba did, reach to intellectual challenges he taught, and learn to love our work and lives the way this remarkable man loved and lived his.

He touched my own life deeply, and his memory will remind me daily to touch other lives in his precious name!

Be blessed in this difficult time ...  Sandra ... and family ... and may you feel the strength of our faith added to yours.  May you sense our prayers — to help you though the sorrow of such loss.

Galba ...  please remain with us all ... in kindness, generosity and wisdom ... that only you had mastered daily as you did!

I am so sorry to hear about Galba's passing! He was a multiple participant in Middle Zone Musing's What I Learned From... writing projects, and often revealed a very interesting mind.

My condolences and prayers to his family and friends.

I cannot believe it, I only spoke to Galba a couple of weeks ago on the podcast and was so touched by this true gentleman. Galba had a magic....that ability to touch people and their lives...we will miss you...sleep tight and thank you for bringing such a joy to this world x

Hi Bob, you'd likely agree that its so surprising how close many of us have become in this community where we read one another's heads and hearts of so many key issues! Galba touched so many of us and will be so sorely missed!

Anna, like you I am devastated by our great loss -- and how much more must his family. What an amazing tribute you offered in in your words of gold. Wish we could share tea and talk!

Oh Ellen, what a shock to see this headline come up in my feed reader - I am glad I saw your memorial before I checked his blog. Finding out from you makes it feel less lonely, more shared, somehow.

He was one of my blog's first supporters, always encouraging and supportive. Each time we connected, I was moved by his sincerity, gentle humor and grace. And Ellen, you know he was a huge admirer of yours? I remember his speaking glowingly of you and Brain Based Business to me; I wish I could remember the exact words, but part of it was something like "the model of what I think a blog should be".

He is missed, and I am off to shed a few tears.

Tori, your words have me back into tears myself -- as we are all poorer without our good friend Galba.

There were times we'd communicate weekly -- and then we'd both get too busy and just trust the other one was well! What a reminder to be there as we can for others -- like you were for me today.

Your words ring gentleness right back to me -- yes, sharing our memories somehow makes it feel less lonely.

Yesterday when I heard the news I felt lonely all day. Thanks for coming by Tori -- Galba -- will be smiling over friends of his who also deeply care about and learn from one another!! Stay blessed!

Tomorrow is not promised, yet sudden death is sad and lonely for those left behind. We must trust in God that our loved ones are in a better place. I am sure Galba is.

YES, JIM, THAT IS OUR CONSOLATUION - and thanks for saying it so well, friend!

Ellen--Thanks for posting a comment on my blog. Galba affected so many people and we will miss him. On March 9th, he sent me a two page email with advice about blogging. He will be missed, but remembered. Thanks. Jann
