Thank you on behalf of the family of Thomas Gallagher. It is wonderful to see that my 3rd great uncle is remembered. He was a young man of 48 yrs. when he was taken from his family. I've kept the newspaper clippings that we discovered of the ordeal that resulted in his death. He was born in Crossmolina, Mayo, Ireland and his wife Elizabeth O'Mara was from Limerick, Ireland. They had 2 married girls: Ellen Lapiedra and Catherine Bulger. Thomas Gallagher is buried in Calvary Cemetery. RIP Uncle and prayers of protection for all who protect and serve.

We can never be sure how our lives will end. I think most of us have at one time or another found ourselves having objects thrown at us. More often than not, we're missed or only receive minor injuries. We tend to laugh it off and simply treat it as a good war story. Sadly, you are proof that sometimes, the blow can be far more serious, even fatal.

I can only hope and pray that your descendants have kept your memory alive as well as this site has. You are NOT forgotten and you are respected.

God Bless you, Brother and may the rest you have forever be peaceful.

I said a little prayer today for Roundsman Gallagher and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 127th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace
