Gallagher of Lynn, whose wife Paulette died before her; John Gallagher of Goffstown, N.H.; Joan Gallagher of Lynn; Paul Gallagher and his wife Joanne of Brentwood, N.H.; Frederick Gallagher and his wife Joan B. of Ipswich; Robert Gallagher of Chantilly, Va.; and Frances St. Hilaire and her husband Brian of Derry, N.H.; and many nieces and nephews.
