George was a dear friend. We shared a deep love for Jesus and the music of Pat Benatar. I will miss him so much. He made so many things special and fun. I'm a better person for knowing him. My deepest condolences to his family, especially Debbie for loving him and taking care of him all these years as well as you could. He has no more pain. Praise God for George Gallagher. He was a sweet gift to us all.
