I worked at the Armory in Philly for one month in 1977. I was 19 and Sgt. Gallagher was my boss. I have never forgotten him. I respected him so much. I thought of him from time to time. This year I thought of him alot and decided to look him up. I broke into tears knowing he passed a couple months ago. To his family, I am so sorry. He was a very special and decent man. I only knew him for a month long ago, but, I still remembered him. That is how special he was. R.I.P., Sgt. Gallagher.

To the family
I am truly sorry for your loss. Uncle John was a wonderful person with a great great sense of humor as many have expressed.
I am sorry I will not be able to attend the services but my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Will always remember Uncle Johns tales from the Armory and many other tales of adventure. He is now in much better hands and his mind and body are now whole again
