Gregg and I served as altar boys at St. Bernard´s church when we were in elementary and middle school in Bridgewater (starting around 1973). I knew him through high school - he was always a quiet, shy and nice guy.
My prayers to all the Gallagher family for your loss.

I first met Greg and Dawn when we moved into our new home on Ten Eyck ct in New Jersey. We immediately became friends, and then, through the years we watched them have children, and they watched our children grow like we watched theirs grow up! We had so many good times together parties, get together, or simply just sitting on the steps of the house having a beer together, Dawn always had her binoculars with her! This picture that I attached I think was the last Christmas time we got together, since after that my wife Jane came down with cancer and our lives changed. We moved down to Florida in 2009 and we had a going away party together. I will always treasure the memories That we had together for the 20+ years as neighbors and will cherish the good times we had together! All my heart and love go to Dawn, Ashley, Brooke and Todd, since I know, they are heartbroken, and my sincere condolences to the rest of the family. Greg is at peace and I know he´s not in pain anymore. It´s time for God to take care of him.!

This was probably the last Christmas get together that we shared as neighbors and friends on Ten Eyck Court in New Jersey. My wife, Jane and I met Greg and Dawn when we moved into our home in 1989. We had so many good times together and have such fond memories. We watched them have children and our children grow up and become adults. I lost my wife just like Greg way too young she was only 60 years old , you´re in God´s hands now, no more pain. All my love and condolences to Dawn, Ashley, Brooke and Todd and the whole family. May God help guide you through this difficult time.

It was the summer of 1962. I was visiting my sister, Irene, my brother-in-law, Charlie and my niece, Claire in Michigan. Irene was pregnant at the time with Gregg. I remember how excited I was when Irene and Charlie brought Gregg home from the hospital! He was such a beautiful baby boy! Years later, they moved to New Jersey, which is where I was living. I used to visit them a lot so we spent a lot of time together. Gregg was a very thoughtful, kind and caring person. He will be missed by so many, including me!
