John P. Gallagher

Mrs. Gallagher and family. So sorry for your loss. Sorry I missed the memorial, don't watch the news or get the paper. Had the privilege of working with and for Lt. J.G. He was a good man with his heart in the right place. He was caring and companionate and easy to work for. His love for his lovely bride and family was very evident by what he said and did. Can't believe how time has flown. May the grace and love of our Lord carry you through these difficult times.

I am proud to say Lieutenant John Gallagher was a friend for so many years as our careers ran parallel. John was an excellent police officer with a warm smile and a compassionate heart. A true credit to the profession.
My condolences to his wife and family.

I met John in 1970 and was members at P.O.P. Church and we shared many Sunday breakfast after church with other couples, also was on church golf league 30 plus years. He was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. I already miss him not seeing him past Thurs for 1st night of league.
My sincere condolences to Karen and family.

I met John 2 yrs ago when he was visiting his brother Dennis Very nice guy. He talked very loving of his wife an children an grandkids. I will hold you all in my prayers.

John was always a fun guy on the golf course. He was the one who originally invited me to play in the Lutheran Golf League some 25plus years ago and there are just many great memories . May John rest in Peace and keep hitting those long drives in heaven.

To John's family, especially Karen, Jeff and Jill: Our deepest sympathy & condolences to you all. I, George, had the privilege and honor of serving with John at PPD from 1975-1995. In my 35 years in law enforcement John stands out as one of the most respected and admired officers I have known. His dedication, loyalty and conscientious service is unsurpassed. May the peace of our Lord & Savior be with you John for all eternity
Most sincerely, George & Gerrie Von Behren
