Not sure what to say?

I knew and worked with Jay at the County Prosecutor's Office. He was a diligent, effective, and hard working prosecutor. My deepest sympathy to his family and many friends. Timothy Lea

Jay, say it ain´t so... so hard to believe... we visited often on my visits in recent years. I remember fourth grade basketball, Jay was the best player, even against the taller boys (I was a work in progress)... our young adult (we were all works in progress) days in Parma Parks softball... State Rd Park, Nike Park and our favorite Miller Park. Jay & Kathleen visiting me in Phoenix and Spring Training fun... I will miss you. Way, way too soon... ugghhh...

Hello Gallaghers. I remember you all from Jay's days at the University of Dayton and afterward. Jay was my classmate, frat brother and housemate. We had some large times, for sure - in Stuart Hall ground north, and in houses on Frank Street, and on Stonemill. We even did a summer road trip together in my Beetle, to visit our Phi Bate brothers out east. Great memories that I cherish. Jay and I met up last year in Cleveland, and it was just like old times. When we weren't laughing about life...

Pat, Mike and Colleen - so very sorry for your loss. We know your mom and dad were there to welcome these two special brothers! You and the whole family remain in our prayers. Colleen and John Cooney

My condolences to Jay's family. I worked with Jay at the prosecutors office and he was "just a great guy". Prayers for Jay and his family.

My deepest condolences to the Gallagher family on the loss of both Jay and Tim. It's heartbreaking to loose two siblings, let alone so close. I have fond memories of your family growing up down the street from us in Parma. When I was older and stopped to visit my parents, there were many times when your mom would just stop by, to say HI but mostly to check on them. She was the sweetest.
