May Ed rest in peace as he lays to rest. My thoughts and prayers to the Gallagher family. I had the honor and privilege to work with Ed while he was at ReMed (Devon Road). I felt heartbroken on this sad news, but I know he is in a better place with no pain or suffering. Ed always fought hard no matter what the doctors said. Ed always proved them wrong. Ed made me a better person and strive to work to my best ability not just for him, but for his housemates. I will always remember the great memories, the fun times, and the laughs he gave me and shared.
Love Always,
Joe Papa

My heart broke to hear the news of Ed´s passing . Ed was a courageous fighter living with his TBI for so many years. He was definitely a "fighting Irishman" and had a strong will to beat any medical challenges that he endured. Ed was a great survivor as his devoted parents , siblings and team never gave up on him. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of Ed´s care over the years. I am certain that Ed always knew how much he was cared for and loved by all
With heartfelt sadness. Helen Carmine , former Clinical Director of Supported Living
