Charles “Charlie” L. Gallagher, 75, of Oxford, Pennsylvania passed away March 26th 2024 with his devoted family by his side. Born in West Grove Hospital to W. Milton Gallagher Sr. and Helen Margaret Baker; he is survived by his wife, Darlene Roland Gallagher, brother Walter M. Gallagher Jr. of Kirkwood, PA, sons Benjamin Sean (Amanda) and Joshua Charles (Amy), and grandchildren Liam, Moira, Cillian, Jamie & Brigid. A lifelong resident of the Oxford area, Charlie was a familiar sight in town as a walking mailman and as a dog walker to his best friend, Bogey. He loved a hard roll sub from Tony’s, cheeseburger and gravy fries from the Varsity Grille or cherry milk from Heron’s. He could be found any summer day at Bicknell’s pool, any dance at the school gym, or the latest movie at the Oak theater. Charlie graduated from Oxford Area High School in 1966 and in 1967, enlisted in the U.S. Air Force serving in Vietnam as a radio operator with the 101st Airborne Division. He was a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and a 50-year club member of the Union Fire Company.
Charlie had many hobbies and was an avid record collector, he photographed over 200 weddings, loved Philly sports, golf, and vacations in Myrtle Beach. After retirement, he could be found on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, an art museum in Europe or a casino in Las Vegas. Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Dublin, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Rome, Athens, Istanbul, and Havana were some of the places Charlie visited. He wanted to see it all but just ran out of time. Nothing was more important to Charlie than family. He loved his wife, his boys, and his grandchildren. Services are private. Arrangements are being handled by the Edward L. Collins, Jr. Funeral Home, Inc. Oxford, PA. On-line condolences may be made at www.elcollinsfuneralhome.com. Comments are closed.
