James “Jim” P. Gallagher of Wilmington, Delaware passed away peacefully in his home on April 10, 2024. He is survived by his wife Beth Gallagher; his four children, Madison E. Gallagher (26), Delaney L. Gallagher (15), Chloe H. Gallagher (14), Daisey L. Gallagher (10); and his furry best friend, Troy. He is also survived by his sisters, Antoinette L. Karlin and her husband, William; and Ryen G. Ryals and her husband Rob. He was preceded in death by his parents James C. Gallagher and Joyce L. Bartley.
Jim loved his family, frequently returning to his hometown of Connellsville, PA to visit them. He graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania as part of the class of 1988. He would proudly tell you about when he was awarded “Greek God” of Sigma Tau Gamma and loved his fraternity brothers. Through every phase of life, Jim was surrounded by loving friends and family, playing golf, tasting wine, and cooking for them. Jim held many titles in his life, but his favorite one was being a father. He loved to travel and took great pride in his career as the business owner of JGPlastics. Jim will be remembered as the person you hoped to be seated next to at a dinner party. He had an answer to every question and a joke to lighten every mood. He was a friend to all, would give you the shirt off his back, and blessed the world with his big personality.
