Gallahan, 91, passed away Sunday, April 25, 2010, at his home on Ferry Road in Stafford County. He was born May 10, 1918, in an area of Spotsylvania County known as Elwood City, now a part of the city of Fredericksburg. He often referred to the area where he grew up as "the field." Mason was preceded in death by his wife, Estelle Curtis Gallahan; his father, John Felton Gallahan; his mother, Ethel Conklin Gallahan, two brothers, Herman and Raymond; and one sister, Clara Wright. Survivors include two sons, Charles M. Gallahan and his wife, Leona, of Falmouth, and Dennis S. Gallahan and his wife, Darlene, of Spotsylvania; four grandchildren: Charles M. "Chuck" Gallahan of Oak Grove; Donna Devericks, Carolyn Trivett and Robert Gallahan of Stafford; and five great-grandchildren, all of Stafford. Mason grew up in the city of Fredericksburg, landing his first job at a gas station where Carl's ice cream stand is currently located. He worked at the Fredericksburg Ice Factory before working at the Sylvania Plant prior to World War II. When the war came, Mason was drafted in the Army and served as a medic in the Pacific, where he earned a combat medic award and a Bronze Star for valor. After returning home from the war, Mason went to work for J and J Appliance on William Street, which later became Pyrofax Gas. He served the community for 42 years as an appliance installation and repair man with J and J and Pyrofax. His territory included all of Fredericksburg, and the counties of Stafford, King George, Spotsylvania, Caroline, Westmoreland, Orange and Louisa. Mason loved his family. During the late 1940s through the 1980s, he and Estelle would plan outings with other family members, which included fishing at his mother's home in Kilmarnock, picnicking at Westmoreland State Park and Aquapo; they would, have cookouts at Aunt Nen's or Christmas parties at Horace and Dorothy Rutledge's garage. Mason and Estelle also liked to travel. During these same dec-ades, they traveled throughout the United States, often with Aunt Nen, or other family members. Mason liked people and always spent time with his friends over coffee every morning before going to work. He started this in the 1950s and would have coffee every workday morning, starting at Goolrick's Drug. Then as time passed, he moved to Metro Drug, then back to Goolrick's, then to other various places around town. But the last dozen years he spent with his friends at Hardees's on Princess Ann Street. Mason was a member of Fairview Baptist Church and attended nearly every Sunday worship service and Sunday school class until he became too ill in January 2010. A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 29, in Oak Hill Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 28, at Covenant Funeral Service, Fredericksburg.
