To my old friend Joe and all the Gallagher family. I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Gallagher was a big part of our years growing up. We could always count on him to participate in our pick-up hockey games on Martha Jones pond. He was a friend and an inspiration. I can still hear him encouraging you to "be a skater Joey, be a skater."
