Bill,

I just read in the Courier this morning that our teacher Joe Gallagher
died on Wednesday, September 24th at the age of 76, and that there will
be a viewing from 8:30-11:30 AM  tomorrow morning, Tuesday,September
30th, followed by a funeral mass at noon. Both will be held at St.
Vincent Pallotti Church in HaddonTwp.

Joe was an excellent teacher, a fine role model,  a great athlete and
coach and just an all around great guy with a good sense of humor. I am
sure that many of your readers would want to know this since Joe spent
so much time at Gloucester Catholic and Gloucester High.

Best wishes,
Gus Danks
