The best voice The sweetest eyes The most beautiful smile The kindest soul The most amazing guy My sweet husband, my best friend, my soulmate... "Loving you has proven to me, to be the greatest dream" I will love you forever baby!

I was shocked to learn this news tonight. So many beautiful memories of the work coffees, help moving, visiting chip in the hospital when he was born, a travel guide to Greece, the "cheap off" to save for the first home, and dreams of doing more than law. I'm glad those came true for John and terribly sorry his life was cut short. I can still hear the sound of his gravelly voice and gentle laugh. Thinking of his children and his parents on this most sad day.

Mary Alice & John, Bill & I were deeply saddened to read of your son John's death. We'll keep you, his family & the rest of your family in our prayers. Bill & Ellie Chapman

Mary Alice and family, I just read this very sad news. My heart goes out to you and we are thinking of you. Lynne and Alan Goldberg

On behalf of Quannapowitt Toastmasters, I would like to extend our sincere thoughts, prayers and heartfelt condolences to the Gallagher family.

My heartfelt sympathy to John and Mary Alice, and all of the family whom I have so enjoyed knowing for many years. John was a very talented and generous young man and we were fortunate to have him here at Saint Anselm. We are keeping him and all his loved ones in our prayers here at his alma mater and at the Abbey. Fr. Iain MacLellan, OSB

Dearest Mary Alice and John, We were taken unaware by this dreadful news. We are so sorry that this best of men has gone from us. John has always been one of my favorite people. He was gentle, generous, kind and brave. Soldier on, I guess. Oceans of love to you and yours, Joey and Walter

The members of the Thayer Academy Book Club , founded by John 's mother , Mary Alice are grieving with the Gallagher family. We were so fortunate to meet John via Zoom to discuss his inspiration for writing his book , Crime Fraud. It seems strange, that there are no words to alleviate the pain of losing someone who shared his words so well in print and engaging dialogue . It was a privilege to have had the opportunity to share in this one chapter of the life of John who had so many outstanding chapters to his legacy . Please know that our members are keeping the Gallagher Family close in our thoughts and prayers .

So sorry to hear of John's passing. It was an honor to help care for such a sweet, optimistic man. My condolences to all of his extended family and friends.

I remember John from my early days in Milton. His mother, Mary Alice, was my ballet teacher. My sisters and I loved going to ballet class in our leotards, tights and pink ballet slippers. I remember him as a sweet funny kid. I send my sincere condolences to his wife and children and the rest of the Gallagher family. ❤️Jessica Quatromoni

He is now resting in peace

So sad to read the passing of John, he was a such a great guy, kind, caring, and thoughtful to all who knew him. John, you left us far too soon-RIP my friend

On behalf of the Spectrum family, I would like to extend my deepest and sincerest condolences to the Gallagher family. John was not only my coworker but he was a friend. Witty, funny, family oriented and full of surprises are just a few words that would describe John in the 1 1/2 years that we've known each other. We will miss you and your dedication to the job. Sincerest Condolences, Jose L Rodriguez

John was a very special person. He was one of my favorite people in my life and I know that many others felt the same. His intelligence, charm, and wit, confidence to always follow his own path, and unwavering love for his family was and remains inspiring. We missed too many promises to get together and for that I have many regrets. I know that this loss is unmeasurable to many in the Gallagher family and I send my most sincere condolences. We all feel the loss of "The most interesting man in the world" Todd Boudreau

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of John from law school, practicing law together for a time, and beyond. He really made the world a brighter place and his ability to crack a dry joke or make a witty remark was priceless. He was the most interesting man. He had a heart of gold and memories of him will live on forever.
