Roseanne ,Mimi and Family I am so deeply heartbroken for your loss. I'm heartbroken for all the lives that Pat touched. To know Pat was to love him. I will always cherish meeting Pat on the beach and immediately becoming friends thru our love of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was one of the most genuine loving man. He touched so many lives and made them a better person. To know Pat was to know the whole Gallagher Family and becoming part of the family. God called him early because his time on earth was spent serving God in all the ways that we should follow. I know everyone is feeling his loss. But Roseanne,Mimi boys somehow Pat will find a way to help you deal with his loss. Hes still with you and lives on in all of us. I love you all and will keep you in my prayers.

My dearest Roseanne and all the Gallagher family. Pat and I go back a long way. I could be on this thing for an hour just writing about our escapades. He is one of the best guys I ever met in my life. No matter what, I always got a solid handshake, a big smile and look you right in the eye and tell you how it is. In good times and in bad times we hung together. I was so saddened by this news. I totally forgot that he was sick. My memory isn't what it used to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. They have to let him in those big golden gates cuz he's got a golden heart.RIP My Friend, My BROTHER.

Roseanne, Mimi and your entire family,

I'm at a loss for words. How could you not immediately fall in love with this man? He was so very special and had a way of making you feel like part of the family. Whether he was buying the whole bar drinks or talking to one person, he made you feel like the most important person in the room. He lived every SINGLE moment of life. He inspired you to make the most of each moment. I loved him and all of the Resorts family did too. He will TRULY be missed!

My prayers for strength for your family during this time. He was larger than life, so I know the loss is inconceivable. May God comfort you during this time and may you have each other to lean on for support.

Love to all of you!

Roseanne, Frank, Kyle, Ryan & Danny,
Such strong emotions abound with the passing of Pat. Like everyone else, I'm sad that Pat left too soon, but Pat Gallagher didn't waste a second of life here on Earth. He reveled in life, work and especially family. When Danny let me know that the inevitable had occurred, I felt the immediate shock and then smiled about my memories of this incredible man. I saw a man at Resorts-taking a snap from a friend and imploring a patron to go long just as I entered the bar area with my family. How can you not smile?? I saw a man enamored with his wife, children & grandchildren who just loved holding court and raising everyone else to his level. I saw an employer who built a great business with an incredibly strong work ethic; proud of his union heritage and determined to do it right!! Pat did it his way, right up to the end. We may have lost a great man before his time, but he left an unforgettable legacy that burns within all who had the honor to know him. Godspeed.

Sympathy to all of Pat's Family. I remember him well from St. Paul's wrestling when the boys were in grade school there.
God bless you and keep you.
Gone way too soon.
RIP

Pat, we will always think of you at the Army Navy game! You fought a courageous battle and you have four great kids to carry on for you. God Bless!
