We are sorry to learn of the passing of John, but grateful for his service to our nation with the Peace Corps in Turkey.

Our Condolences,

John shared a 5-man carpool for 5 years at HEW in Rockville, MD. I was one of fortunate drivers. His Boston, Irish wit came through constantly and made the journeys so much fun. Great man, great activist, great humanist.

We are so sad to hear of John's passing. He was a wonderful person who we loved being with in Turkey. Our deepest sympathy to his family. Mike and Judie Jerald. Peace Corps Turkey 8

I only met Mr. Gallivan briefly over 30 years ago. I was visiting family this past Sunday when I read his obituary in the Post. I remember his sense of humor best. Blessings to his family. May he rest in peace.

May the love of family, friends and prayers comfort you in the days ahead.
Psalm 145:18.

A good man and a great man.

In John's memory, I have contributed to the Johns Hopkins pancreatic research memorial fund for John. What a wonderful man he was, what a loss to the world. With prayers for all the Gallivans, Peggy Nolan

I am shocked and so sorry to hear of Mr. John Gallivan's passing. What a pleasure it was to have worked with such a warm and caring individual. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Oh John and Catherine what wonderful memories we shared...Thank you

Such a charming, bright man. To Catherine and his family, wishing you peace and comfort.

I am so sorry to learn of John's passing. I first met him in 1967 when he was the Peace Corps' Turkey Desk Officer and I started as one of the India Desk Officers. I immediately liked and respected John, and have kept up with him over the years. Later we both worked for HHS (I worked for FDA) and we would meet and catch up occasionally in the halls of the HHH building. Traveling in Italy about 15 years ago I ran by chance into a person who was a Turkey volunteer with John--she married an Italian and had been living in Tuscany for many years. As we talked we knew that we both knew John--part of that wonderful Peace Corps family with its many bonds. I am so sorry that he is no longer with us and send my deepest sympathy to his family.

so unassuming a hero

John made a positive difference in many lives, in many places. He lives on in our lives, hearts and memories.

John occupies a fond space in my heart for his empathy, humour and sense of enjoyment. He made our days as volunteers a joy for a higher cause.

My deepest sympathy to John's family, and to his extended nework of friends and colleagues. He was generous with his time and encouragement with Peace Corps Volunteers when he was in Turkey, and that relationship continued through the Friends of Turkey group (Arkadaslar). He will be missed, but not forgotten.

John was a very good man, and will be sorely missed.

Condolences to the extended Gallivan family. I'm sorry John didn't get to enjoy his retirement.

John will be remembered with affection by all the Peace Corps volunteers who served in Turkey!

I'm so sorry for your loss.May the most high comfort you during this time.
