A Prayer to Cpl. Gahagan
Reg. #10111 Cpl. J. H. A. Gahagan
Notre Dame Cemetery Ottawa, ON.
Reg. # 10111 Cpl. J. H. A. (Arthur) Gahagan is one of several examples of RCMP members buried with no designation as to their relationship to the Force. Cpl. Gahagan was the grandfather of my wife Cathy and father to Rev. Father Gerald Gahagan of Ottawa, ON pictured below.

On the left, my Mother beautiful and dark haired.
On the right, my Father, proud, Stetsoned and Red coated.
I look upon them in their prime and think upon them
down the threads of time
recalling selfless sacrificial love of family
that could only come
from One who is love and from whom all love comes.
Bless the Lord, my soul; never forget
All He has done for you.
