TILTON---It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of Galen Gamblin, 74, of Tilton NH, on June 15, 2018 after a period of declining health.
Galen was born on December 18, 1943 in Caribou Maine, to Ervin and Levercie Gamblin. He was one of 15 children.

In addition to his parents, Galen was predeceased by his siblings, Pearl Richardson, Roland Gamblin, Charlotte Wilcox, Melvin Gamblin, Murray Gamblin, and Erwin Gamblin.
