Sources
- The forum relayed an obituary stating that John “Jack” Gallagher, 84, died peacefully at his Beaver Island home January 19 and had moved to the island in 2000, served as a township supervisor, helped operate a local business, and supported the Community Center. It announced a remembrance, Funeral Mass, luncheon, and livestream. The obituary relay is stronger than community tributes but is not a civil record.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 14 · t014955
- AMVETS announced that Veterans Memorial Park flags would be at half-staff in Gallagher’s honor from Friday through Monday. This corroborates local memorial observance, not the funeral outcome.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 14 · t014959
