Kevin Galvin’s elder sister, who shared the heartbreaking news, conveyed, “My younger brother Kevin Galvin passed away yesterday, just retired as Chief of KCFD. I’m devastated… he had so much going for him. At least he’s partying with mom Rita Hurley Galvin Moore & dad William Galvin now… I have no words to express the pain. The Galvin 5 is now 4. Forget that.”
