John Gallagher, 80, of Seminole, passed away on March 17, 2019.
Born in New York City to the late Katherine Hennessey and Anthony Gallagher, he was a retired iron worker and a member of the Metal Lathers and Reinforcing Ironworkers Local 46.
Before moving to Kings Point, Sun City Center, and later Five Towns, St. Petersburg, he lived in Palisades Park and Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.
Survived by his beloved wife Alice, cousin Howard Duffy of Tucson, sister-in-law Marcia Brevot of Seminole, special friends Don Richmond, Big Jim Kissane of Seminole and Richard Brady of St. Petersburg. Rick and John spent many years every week playing the lottery and checking numbers with each other, but unfortunately, neither ever won.
John enjoyed playing golf and was very proud of his six hole in one trophies. He was a very well-liked gentle man who loved his home and the residents at Lake Seminole Square as well as the many friends he made over the years throughout the country. He will be missed by all.
