I know Patrick is buried beside his parents in Ballyhaunis. Yes, a big loss to the Gallagher family.

I think a man like Patrick should never be forgotten ,I am a friend of his nephew in Mayo, I am a Vietnam vet and believe it would be a great honor for the Navy to have a ship named in his honor Thanks Jim Ryan
