This is my Uncle Jimmy. He was always kind and loving. I was always drawn to his sweet spirit and quirky sense of humor. He lead me to Jesus when I was eight years old. He was a terrific father to his children and devoted husband to my aunt. He will be missed but I'm rejoicing he is with God now.
My sincere sympathy to the Jim Gallaher Family,I went to the Brooklyn School System with Jim from the first grade to our graduation in 1956.I was also a neighbor of Jim and his family from the time that we were both about six years old back in the mid 1940's.Jim was a very good friend to his classmates. He was very popular, and I am happy to have been able to know him.God Bless his dear wife, Grace, and his entire family.Paul Castle North Olmsted, OH
My deepest sympathy goes out to the Gallaher family. I knew them in Ohio. I have many fond memories. Prayers and thoughts are with you now. May he and my father meet in Heaven. Sincerely…..Kathy (Cantwell) Menear [email protected]
Jim Gallaher was my friend… I enjoyed our shared times, especially when I could get him to share about the stories of his past: life in Ohio, his testimonies, and his family (I probably know more stories than you want me to know, Mark & Christine). Last June we spent some vacation time together, and Jim became my "photography friend". The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful, and Jim enjoyed just watching the beauty as it slowly appeared, then left. We traveled early one morning to Ft Gibson National Cemetery… Jim was truly thankful for the opportunity to stand in honor of those who served and sacrificed. We stood together for quite a long time before the graves of 5 soldiers who died together in Europe during World War II. Then Jim walked the rows for over 2 hours stopping often to read the markers and honor the lives of these valiant men and women. He was truly grateful that he had that opportunity. Jim was the kind of student every teacher likes… he was attentive, engaged, and appreciative of what he learned. He "fed me" as I taught…Jim will be missed… but NOT lost. I know where he is, and where I will meet him again. I wonder how the Sunrises and Sunsets will appear in Heaven? Jim will have to teach me a few things, then.Geof W. Jackson
