My deepest condolences to the Gallagher family, and to all of us who had the fortune to share a part of their lives with Tim. I will always remember Tim as a free spirit, who lived in the moment and learned by experience. Incredibly quick witted (I mean, so funny), yet thoughtful and caring. He spoke the truth, and was a friend you could always count on. Our friendship started freshman year at Austin Prep. We shared countless memories from high school through adulthood - from Bruins...

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. So shocking and sudden. Although I haven't seen Tim in many, many years, all of my childhood memories are filled with memories of him: Brook Street and Morrison Road West, playing kickball in the street in front of our houses, chasing the mosquito-spraying trucks, playing tag. He was a gentle soul, and very funny. I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies to the Gallaghers.
