I have very fond memories of all of the little gag things Uncle Jim would bring out when we visited to make us all laugh. His stories about him and our father Jack growing up will always be cherished memories among us Callahan kids. God Bless you Uncle Jim, I will miss you! Jack

Dear Grandpa: I am so happy you are finally with Grandma. You can be free of all your pain and suffering now.I will miss you very much. I will remember all the fun times we had over the years and all the laughs we shared. I will always remember your funny sayings, our fishing trips, swiming in Judy's pool and our days in the yard planting flowers & the garden. Your knowledge of the things you taught me will be with me forever. May you rest in peace and could you please do me a favor and kiss and hug "Pebbles" & Grandma for me & tell them I Love and Miss them like crazy.
Love you Grandpa!

A very close friend and confidant to his brother Jack, admired by his nephew Jack, and nieces, Janet and Barbara. Friendly and cheerful to all who knew him especially for the Irish limericks and songs he sang.

Uncle Jim will be missed. He was funny, fun and very sweet. I have alot of fond memories of him having fun with us as kids over the years and stopping by in his UPS truck to visit my Dad. When I would call him he would go on and on about how much he missed my father, his brother Jack, he would say "He was my best friend" now they are together in Heaven. He would always say how proud he was of his nephew Jack. I can picture him catching up with his brothers and sisters that have passed on all of our lives in Heaven.
