James “Jim,” of Roslindale, formerly of Mission Hill, passed away on June 30, 2026. Beloved husband of Christine “Tina” (Flaherty) Galvin. Devoted father of Scott Galvin and his wife Tara of NH and Kelly Galvin of Roslindale. Dear brother of the late Richard “Richie” Galvin. Loving grandfather of Shamus T. Galvin. Also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Jim dedicated over 33 years of his life to coaching baseball to children of the West Roxbury/Roslindale area. During those years you would rarely not see Jim on the field coaching the Parkway Little League Dodgers, Babe Ruth Bullets or Post 78 American Legion team. Jim’s teams were always making a run towards Williamsport as he compiled 2 State championships and multiple District and Sectional Titles. His love for teaching the game of baseball has been passed through generations of families in the Parkway area. His legacy at Parkway Little League will be carried on for many more years to come.
