I remember one day Charlie and I took a dangerous canoe trip down the Wading River, with several overturns. We got our photo in the paper. What a ride. He always reminded me of that. A true buddy never to be forgotten. We began working at DYFS together in 1970. May his soul rest with the Angels

My sincere condolences to the entire Gallagher Family! I worked with Charlie for several years (since 1989) before his retirement and was very fond of him. He was a very creative, fun, talented man, and always made me laugh. He was the Producer of many of our work videos and always had the best ideas for our movies. He was a very kind and caring man who will be missed by many.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all! Rest in Peace My Friend

My sincere condolences on the passing of Charlie. We worked together for a few years. Charlie's good humor, storytelling and video skills were a gift to all of us. He was a pleasure to know and I will treasure the beautiful video he made for my retirement. May God rest his kind soul. Sincerely, Marianne Kloc
As I have grown older and weathered the loss of an ever increasing number of family and dear friends, I find myself searching for words of comfort to all who are affected. Too often, I am not able to find such words within me, and I look outside myself for that which seems to express my feelings. As I did so today while thinking of Charlie, the many years that have passed since I first met him in Germany back in 1971, and all of the "wild and crazy" times that our families have shared since, I found the following and thought it most appropriate for the loss of someone special to all of us -
Feel No Guilt In Laughter Author unknown
Feel no guilt in laughter; he’d know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that he is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever; he would not want you to.
He’d hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone may say,
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day,
That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here,
And fills you with the feeling that he is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart,
And he will live forever, locked safely within your heart.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Charlie was a neighbor growing up in Lenola...RIP my friend.
What a shock; way too early for Charlie to leave us. His quick, easy laugh was legendary. As the leader of A Formal Affair band, he was talented and fun, always looking for the perfect sound and song to feature band members. And his family came first; I feel lucky to have been included in some activities. Hugs to Sue, Jason, Sean, and Chris.
So sad to hear the news of my classmate Charley. I remember him so well with the swimming pool in his back yard, his train set up in the attic area and his musical talent on the saxophone. My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family. He sure will be missed.
