John was a great friend when I worked at Reliable Cartage, he always made us laugh. It was interesting, last night my wife and I were out with friends and I was reminded of a funny story about Gallagher! I spoke of the story and everyone laughed...when we returned last night, we had a voice mail message and hear the news he had passed. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with you and all the family!
