                         Friday, June 29, 2012

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Judge 
Patrick F. Gallagher, who spent nearly 20 years as a judge for the 
Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court.
  Born on September 1, 1918, Judge Gallagher was raised in the City of 
Cleveland. He graduated from St. Ignatius High in 1936. Before 
enrolling in college, Judge Gallagher served with the U.S. Army for 
four years in England during World War II. He was discharged, having 
earned the rank of master sergeant.
  Upon returning home, Judge Gallagher graduated from Case Western 
Reserve University and earned his law degree from Cleveland Marshall 
College of Law. In 1956, he joined the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court 
as a legal consultant. He would eventually become the Juvenile Court's 
chief clerk.
  Judge Gallagher was first elected as a Judge for Cuyahoga Court 
Domestic Relations Court in 1972. He was subsequently reelected for two 
additional terms and retired after 18 years on the bench.
  I offer my condolences to his wife, Eileen; children, Patrick 
(Cynthia), Dr. Michael (Catherine), Dr. Timothy (Lynn), John and 
Captain Colleen Gallagher Thomas; grandchildren, Molly (Kevin), Kate, 
Mary Catherine, Brian, Kelly, Amy, Jaci, Timothy, Erin, Daniel, Bridget 
and Brendan; and great-grandson, Jack.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Cuyahoga 
County Domestic Relations Court Judge Patrick F. Gallagher.
