Dr. Timothy Gallagher's Obituary
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us” — Ralph Waldo Emerson.Longtime Sunnyvale resident and dentist Timothy M. Gallagher, former president of the Holistic Dental Association, died unexpectedly Friday, June 27, 2014 at the age of 68. He was felled by a massive heart attack. He was active up until his last breath, exercising at his local gym. Our only comfort is that he passed quickly.Time had a keen intellect, was analytical, intuitive yet reserved. He possessed a natural inclination towards spiritual subjects. He was a seeker of the truth and wisdom in all that he did and searched for the underlying answer in everything. He was above all else, a perpetual student of life and its mysteries. Dr. G., we hoep to meet up with you in the 6th dimension.we have lost our beloved mentor, valued colleague, dear friend and consummate health practitioner. What can we say about someone who was larger than life? Words don’t seem adequate to convey the hole left in our hearts from his passing.It was his inspiration and drive that forged our dental practice and it was “he” who created our reputation for excellence in the industry. Love him or hate him, Dr. Gallagher was a driven perfectionist and demanded the same standard from all he employed. We learned at the feet of a master.Time touched everyone’s spirit in some way and will not easily be forgotten.The Celebration will be followed by a service at his final resting place at Skylawn Memorial Park and a memorial reception until 3:00pm at Skylawn Funeral Home.
