Scene Around: RFH Tower Singers’ Holiday High Note
The holidays. They’re something to sing about. And that’s exactly what the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) Tower Singers did over the weekend.
All festively dressed up with somewhere to go, the singers took their songs to the streets and other places in the area to serenade many and spread some holiday cheer. They do it every year.
This year, the Santa-hatted Tower Singers strolled and sang starting in the morning at St. George’s-by-the-River Episcopal Church in Rumson at the church’s Canterbury Christmas event. By about 11 a.m., they singers were on their way to Ce La Vi on Monmouth Street in Red Bank. No, they didn’t stroll all the way there, but … they did have some brunch — and a little bonding.
After brunch the Tower Singers did a caroling kind of stroll from the restaurant to Riverside Gardens Park on Front Street where they sang for the Red Bank Holiday Harmonies program at 1 p.m. And finally, the singers strolled to Broad Street to sing in front of the Red Bank Artists’ Collective, also for the Red Bank program.
Now that’s some holiday cheer with a song — or several! Cheers to the Tower Singers!

In Memoriam: Lifetime Red Bank Resident, 63-Year Fire Department Member, Louis Galassi, 93

Born and raised in Red Bank, Louis graduated from the Red Bank school system. He joined the U.S. Army in 1951 and served during the Korean War, earning a Bronze Service Star.

“A quintessential Italian-American gentleman who loved the melodies of Frank Sinatra, Louis was the devoted patriarch of his family. He enjoyed his time in the kitchen, cooking amazing meals that were relished by family and friends, and was especially known for his delicious meatballs. Rena was the love of his life and it was love at first sight when they met, and they carried that love throughout their 68 years of marriage, delighting in a spin across the dance floor whenever they could. Selfless, generous, kind, humble and caring, Louis had the biggest smile to warm your heart. He enjoyed tennis, skiing, boxing, movies, heading out to the stores and was fun to be around.”
Louis was predeceased by: his infant son, William Galassi, in 1960; his parents, Pietro and Angelina Galassi; and his brothers, Sammy and Peter Galassi.
He is survived by: his wife, Catherine “Rena” (nee: Webb); his children, Lou-Ann Howell and husband David, and Rose-Ann D’Andrea and husband Paul; three grandchildren, Heather Obrochta and husband Joseph, Ryan Howell and Kimberly D’Andrea; his great-grandchildren, Sage, Brody and Owen Obrochta. Caring uncle of Debbie, Peter, Gina, Lynn and Bill and brother-in-law of Ginger Galassi and Mary Galassi. He also leaves behind his cherished grand-dogs, Zac and Gus.
