Galen Dennis Huhe was born on December 14, 1943, in Cresco, Iowa, to Fred Jr. & Edith (Teetshorn) Huhe. He met the love of his life Linda Louise Falck at A&W and was later united in marriage on June 8, 1963, at First Lutheran Church in Cresco, Iowa. To this union, eight children were born: Lonnie (Leon) Bohr, Lisa (Jon) Flugstad, Kathy (Sam) Graeve, Khris (Peg) Huhe, Ramona (Mike) Martinek, Tim (Diana) Huhe, Brenda (Kevin) Boehmer and Beth (Ron) Martinek. Together they farmed 57 years and were proud to have partnered with their son, Tim & his family, forming what is known as H&H Farms. In 2018 they humbly received the Wergin Good Farm Neighbor Award.
Galen was blessed with the gift of gab. He was never at a loss for words and loved to laugh and make others laugh as well. His smile was contagious. Although farming was his first passion, he found time later in life to enjoy turkey hunting, (showing up two hours prior to the scheduled sunrise hunt), teaching his grandchildren how to fish and playing many rounds of cards with anyone who graced their home. He loved his many trips to Yogi Bear, trips to Branson, MO, Father’s Day camping, making his famous popcorn over the campfire, attending sporting events for the grandkids, and just spending simple times with his greatest love….his family.
Galen is survived by 25 grandchildren. Megan (Brandon) Pitz, Dr. Lindsey Bohr (Brian Reszutek); Heather (Sean) Burke, Hannah Flugstad, Rachel (Riley) Jensen, Lauren (Brett) Carstens, David Graeve, Kari Graeve; Lucas Huhe, Ashley (Eric) Bischoff, Austin Huhe; Travis (Rachel) Martinek, Justin Martinek, Nathan Martinek; Jennifer (Mike) Bronner, Abby Huhe (fiancé Maleek Williams), Katie Huhe; Ben Boehmer, Sam Boehmer, Charlie Boehmer, Joey Boehmer; Zach Martinek, Colin Martinek, Emma Martinek & Max Martinek; honorary grandchild Dalton Martinek; Four great grandchildren. William Huhe Augustine, Elma Bischoff, Harper Pitz, Oliver Jensen, with two more great grandbabies on the way.

We will cherish the memory of dad rising early in the morning, sitting in his gator, watching the sunrise and enjoying the quiet of the day.
