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 games, to concerts, to road trips, to hockey teammates, or simply just hanging out. Basically, I grew up with Tim and he was one of my closest friends.

Tim connected with everyone he met. My family loved him, and my hometown and college friends all became his friends. He left an everlasting impression on all of us.

God bless and rest easy my friend..... any way the wind blows.

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.

My condolences to the Gallagher family. Tim was a great guy, knew him growing up in Wakefield, attending Austin Prep together and then later playing hockey. Sorry for your loss.
