we are very sorry to hear of shamey's passing. We lived two doors down and the gallaghers were like family to us growing up. He would always wave to us no matter how many times he saw you in a day. Grilling in the back yard or sitting in front with a beer in his hand. Our memories will live forever!

I was devastated when I heard about Shame passing. Unfortunately, I lost touch with him a few years ago. However, I will always remember all the good times along with his kind smile that he frequently displayed. He was a wonderful person and friend whom I will greatly miss. My thoughts and prayers are with Shame's family during this very difficult time.

I was very sad to hear this terrble news. I have not seen Shame for several years but I will not forget the good times we had. We both enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, camping or just enjoying a cold beer or two by the grill. I will not forget those good times. I will keep the Gallagher family in my thoughts.
