Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Gilbert C. Gallagher

Deputy Sheriff Gallagher,
On today, the 75th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 1st Infantry Division-“The Big Red One” fighting the Germans during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Rest in peace always and know that no passage of time can ever erase your service and sacrifice.

I am a thirty year retired police officer and now a Catholic Priest. Deputy Gallagher was my uncle. May eternal rest be granted unto him and may perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the soul of all the faitihfully departed rest in peace. Amen.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 63rd 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

To the great-uncle I never knew and a fellow law enforcement officer. I am a proud member of your personal and professional family and I salute you. May God bless.

I agree with a previous writer who wrote “No officer’s death should be without reflection.” It is an honor to be the first to leave a reflection in your memory. May the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever. You served us well......RIP brother.
