Dearest Jan + Bob and all the
Gallagher family. I just found today about your beloved Dad. Pat and I are so very sorry. I have such fond and vivid memories of you and your Dad and all your family. My heart is filled with such sadness. Our hope is that you find some comfort and strength from the thoughts and prayers from all of us who had the great fortune of knowing your Dad and his beautiful family.

I'll always remember your dad so fondly. From the time he sided up with me in an imaginary sword fight in the Berry Ln skating rink against Jimmy and my brother,( Jimmy was shocked), to watching him skim the pool and accidently bump Mister ( spinning frantically in a tight 360 circle and barking)perilously close to the water's edge. And always w/ a michevious sparkle in his eyes. And still to this day, when I hear " When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" play I see your Pop's face. Because my mom told me that's who they wrote it for.
To Jan, Julie, Nancy, Beth,and all of your families, please accept the Hodgman families condolences on the passing of your dad. But like your mom, his spirit is too big to not have a lifelong impact.
God Bless James Francis. Rest in Peace.

It is so sad for all the Gallagher Family to lose another icon so soon after Don. They both contributed so much to the Asphalt industry each in his own way. Cherished the memories working with them. They were responsible for the Gallagher Asphalt becoming National and international respected leaders in the Industry.
Missed him when he went to Hawaii. Our Pat & Mike always thought highly of the girls. Eternal rest grant unto Jim Oh Lord and may perpetual light shine upon him, may his soul and the souls of Honey, Jimmy and all his siblings rest in peace
