Mike, Michaelene, Brittney and Shane Landy June 18, 2022 Mr Gallagher was always kind and genuinely cared about myself and my family. He will be greatly missed. Amy Eperthener June 17, 2022 In June 2003 when my brother was dying from cancer, Mr. Gallagher & a fellow fireman responded to my sister-in-law's call for assistance at their Baldwin home. We were unable to transfer my brother from the couch to a hospital bed that had just been delivered. It was early evening & they came. With Mr. Gallagher's quiet leadership they respectfully, kindly, & gently lifted my brother into bed for his comfort & care. And spoke with him as though it had been no trouble at all. He was also so kind to my sister in law & acknowledged that his daughter Megan & my brother's daughter were Baldwin high school friends. I have always been so appreciative of him & have been praying for him through some of the illnesses that Mr. Gallagher endured. My prayers continue for his family now. He was a wonderful man to have been so kind & considerate & a true servant for the community over many years. I'm betting many more people have had similar experiences. Thank you Mr. Gallagher and Rest In Peace & eternal love & life. Addy Eperthener Contact Us to have your link and message added here. Please fill out the form below.
