GILFORD ---- Gregory Dennis Gallien, 74, passed away on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 at Tufts Medical Center, Boston. He was finally diagnosed with a rare cancer of the blood plasma, cardiac amyloidosis, which damaged his heart.

Greg was born September 23, 1951 in East Derry to Norman and Lucille (Jordan) Gallien.

Raised in Derry, Greg graduated from Pinkerton Academy in 1970 and then entered the US Coast Guard. Upon returning home he attended Franklin Pierce College and received a degree in Computer Science. He worked as a software engineer for ODM.

He will be remembered as the most kind, loyal and trustworthy man. He supported the scouting endeavors of his nephew by volunteering with troops in Laconia and Gilmanton. Known as a lover of classic International and Chevy cars, he spent hours restoring them to their original form and majesty.

His family will always be grateful for his love and support, knowing they could always count on him to be present for them no matter what.

He leaves behind his wife of 28 years Lorie (Antal) Gallien, step-children whom he treated like his own, Keith (April) Matthews and Andrea Matthews (Scott Sietz), grandchildren Owen, Henry, Aria and one more due any day, siblings Jane Potter, Donna McCarthy, Carol Darbyshire, Tim Gallien, Marie Beaudet, and Sue McCann, along with many nieces and nephews.

Calling Hours will be held on Friday, October 31, 2025 from 2:00pm-4:00pm at the Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, NH using the Carriage House entrance.
