Not sure what to say?

I have wonderful memories of Morris as I met him taking the Nevada State Dental board-he was an examiner and later as a practicing orthodontist in Elko. He and his wife and sons were classy, warm, people. He was a warm "giver", always contributing to his profession and community. I miss him.

Mrs. Gallagher, Mollie, Morris & John, I am just now hearing and it saddens me deeply. Had I known, I would have been there with you just as you were there with me when mom died. You are family to me and I love you with all my heart. You may not hear from me often, but you are always in my thoughts. My prayers are with you.

Mrs. Gallagher and family - you are in my thoughts and prayers. Dr. Morris worked so hard for the museum and did a wonderful job. Sincerely Lisa Casper (Littleton, CO)

My thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Morris Gallagher and his family. Having grown up with John and played on many sports teams, I remember fondly how friendly and caring Dr. Morris was. He always had words of encouragement, and was a wonderful role model. He will be missed. My condolences to all of the family...may you celebrate his life. Lenny Smales (Stuttgart Germany)

Dearest Gallagher Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am very sadden to read of Dr. Morris death. I worked chairside for him in the early 70s and enjoyed it very much, he taught me alot. He was so kind and respectful of his employees, he will be greatly missed. My condolances to the family. Maureen White (Minden,Nv)

As a child in Elko in the 60's and 70's thanks to Dr. GalIagher I have good memories of visit's to the dentist, thank you. You will be missed by many. May your family assuage thier sorrow by fond memories as well.

Our prayers go to the whole Gallagher family. There have been few people that have had such an impact to the profession and to how to live life. I am not sure if Mo every fully understood what an impact he had on people and especially my family. The memories are one of the highlights of my growing up and interating with those from Elko. Again a shinning star from Nevada. I am saddened by his leaving but more that some of the younger generation will not get a chance to meet such a...

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I would say I have fond memories, but who can say that about their dentist. Dr Morris and Dr Tom made it as good as it gets though. My condolences.
