Judge Gallagher was a kind and considerate judge in the workers' compensation field. It was a pleasure to appear in his courtroom over the years.

Dan was a long-time and loyal member of the Block-Heads, the Twin Cities' branch of the international Laurel & Hardy club! He was a great fellow who always had something nice to say when he attended our meetings. He wasn't able to attend in recent years, and his presence was missed! Perhaps he's enjoying Stan & Ollie in-person right now!

Sad to hear the news of Danny. He was my dad; Jim McLoone’s best friend. I’m sure my dad will be happy to see him. I have great memories of Danny stopping to see me a few times in Ponte Vedra beach when he was on a way down to Florida. He was a great guy. Rest In Peace Danny.

Mr. Gallagher was a great neighbor. I remember his Dodge Dart and how he said two well placed snowflakes could render the car stuck. Standing outside during a snow storm listening to him tells you a lot about his character. He will be missed.

Dan Gallagher was a very fine man. I met him 40 years ago as a young attorney Dan was a smart and fair judge. He wrote very long and detailed decisions which is what one would expect from Dan. Rest in Peace. He will be missed.
