DAYTON – A custom casket is being built for the funeral of the world’s longest-surviving conjoined twins, who died July 4 of natural causes.
Their younger brother Jim Galyon said Tuesday that he’s received an outpouring of support following their deaths.
Donnie and Ronnie Galyon, of Beavercreek, appeared at carnivals and on cruises as a sideshow attraction.
Jim Galyon said that their income supported their family for years.
They retired from entertaining in 1991 and claimed the world record in 2014 shortly before they turned 63.
A funeral with family and friends is scheduled for next week to allow time to build a casket large enough for the twins.
They died of congestive heart failure at the age of 68.
