GALLAGHER, ELEANOR FRANCES

November 24, 2010 Leave A Condolence

GALLAGHER,

92 of Phoenix, Arizona passed away on October 25, 2010. Ellie was born on January 20, 1919, in Wayne, Nebraska and was raised in Iowa, along with her sister and four brothers by their parents Al and Mary Lantaff. Ellie attended business college and worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, DC for several years. She married the love of her life, Bill Gallagher, who returned from active duty in 1945 and packed Ellie and her young son, Mike off to California. Son Pat came along about five years later. Ellie spent twenty plus years of her life preparing pre-game meals and attending more youth, high school and college sporting events watching her boys than anybody ought to be exposed to. Her family and her Catholic faith richly filled her life. Since 1973 when Bill died, Ellie has lived in Phoenix being a wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is survived by her son Mike, daughter-in-law Barbara, son Pat, daughter-in-law Lynne, grandson Sean, his wife Roxann, great-granddaughter Lovey, granddaughter Ryanne Tezanos, her husband Jose, and great-granddaughter Riley. A Memorial Mass in honor of Ellie will be held at Brophy Chapel at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 8, 2011. In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials be made to Brophy College Preparatory. Ellie would love it if in her memory you would go out and enjoy a kid’s ball game.

BOWLES, JOHN (JACK) HAROLD

November 17, 2010 Leave A Condolence

In Memorial

Jack Bowles, 68, passed away peacefully at home on November 14, 2010. Born March 4, 1942 in Crown Point, NY, he moved to Phoenix with his family in 1947. Jack was an entirely self-made man with a great entrepreneurial spirit. He was well-known and greatly respected in all facets of the Arizona swimming pool construction industry for 50 years. Jack was a man of rare, unwavering integrity who inspired loyalty and admiration in those whose lives he touched. The magnitude of his generosity extended to loved ones and strangers alike. He was a caring, devoted husband; a dedicated, loving father and grandfather; a steadfast, dependable friend; and an honest, trustworthy businessman. It is impossible with mere words to begin to describe what he meant to those who loved him or the void created by his absence. The only comfort comes from the knowledge that he is once more with his beloved wife, Joyce, the loss of whom broke his heart irreparably. Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, November 20th at 2:00 p.m. at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Rd., Phoenix.
