We are so very sorry to hear of Mr. Callahan passing away.My parents Dan and Ruby Amyx thought highly of him, Daddy always said he was like a Dad to him, they had a very
special bond. Your dad was truly a great man . I know your parents and mine are having a wonderful time together now. He will be missed by many. We loved this man
We will miss you very much Charles. You will always be very special to us.
Charles Callahan meant a lot to my 2 children, Cooper & Callahan McCurry. They would come home from visiting their Aunt Jackie (Callahan) Tate and tell stories about Charles and the long talks they would have with him. Cooper has a wallet that Charles gave him and he cherishes it. Callahan's name comes from the Callahan family name, which Charles loved! She was very special to him for that reason. I'm very thankful that Charles Callahan had such a positive and lasting impact on my two kids. They love Charles, and will miss him dearly. We will always remember him for that. May he rest in peace.
