Sorry for the loss to the Callahan family...God bless you Pat.. What a family. You are truly a "Man's man!
I am so happy I had dinner with Pat last December, near the Pyramid plant, where I had the GREAT opportunity to work with Pat starting in 1964.I had the wonderful opportunity to have many adventures on sales trips with Pat.
I have pictures to send a family member. Please contact me at... [email protected]

I have good memories of Pat and Kay. Kay was my Mom's cousin. Pat was always so kind and had a story to tell. May The Lord be holding Pat in the Palm of His Hand!

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
