Michael Joseph Gallagher Jr.

Dear Bea and family, I am so saddened to hear about Bub´s passing. I grew up with the family since I was 12 years old. I can still remember going over to visit Rhonda at their house off Turpin street. Paula and Mike had a pool table in the middle of the living room, and a volleyball net set up in the yard. I recall seeing Bub coming in and out of the house with this crazy wild long blonde hair (Afro) and I always thought he was a California surfer. He was always in motion-always in a hurry to go somewhere. He did take time one day to play me a game of pool-I lost. But what I remember the most is his kindness to stop for a moment out of his busy teenager schedule to make time for me.
I have seen him and talked to him through the years since then, and could see how much love and pride Mike has for his family.He will be missed!

I pray for you Bea, Mike Jr. and Monica. If you ever need something or want to meet for lunch please call me. (907) 268-9595, sincerely, Cathy Von Gemmingen
