Not sure what to say?

I enjoyed seeing Mr. Callan arrive every morning at Callan Associates Inc. the seventeen years that I was employed there. What a joy it was to see his wonderful smile and feel his kind hearted presence. He will truly be missed and always remembered. My prayers go out to his entire family.

It was always a joy to sit next to Ed during lunch at the club table in the Pacific Union Club and chat about our adventures past and present. The train he donated, that so joyfully goes round and round the Christmas tree will always keep that happy spirit alive. Rusty Miller

I was so saddened to hear of Ed's passing. May his friends and loved ones find peace and comfort from their memories.

Nan and I are so saddened by Ed's passing. We had many wonderful hours of laughter and joy with him on and off the golf course, at the Callan Conference and with him at the Ronald McDonald House in Palo Alto. Ed has left a void never to be filled. We send our prayers and thoughts to all of his family and his colleagues who love him so dearly.

My deepest sympathy to Ed's family.
My wife and I met Ed at the Pulmonary clinic this last year. It was funny how may times our path's had crossed over the years from his days as a Navy pilot to the San Francisco Golf club to the clinic. We enjoyed our conversations with ed immensley. He will be greatly missed.

I have many great memories of Ed when I was but a kid. One time, when I had my drivers license for about a month, he asked me to drive his car and tow his boat down from Tahoe. As expected, a police officer felt I wasn't driving up to standards and pulled me over. Mr. Callan said to stay right where I was. He'd go talk to the officer and work things out. And work it out, he did. When he got back in the car, he roared with laughter for 10 minutes and then told me he was going to take a nap! He...

Ed was one of my mentors in this great industry of investment management. He was also one of my best 'scuba' buddies having shared the beauty of Aldabbra and the Red Sea. But mostly Ed was as we say in the military the person you want in the foxhole with you. He'll protect you with his life as you would him. And in the end that is the best performance measurement of this wonderful and without peer man. I'll truly miss walking this earth with him.

Uncle Ed was one of my Dad's best friends and my godfather. What you don't see in the posted picture (which was of a group aircraft carrier pilots) was that Ed had his right thumb stuck in my Dad's right ear, with his other fingers splayed out. That great sense of humor so typified his nature. Indeed he will be remembered by many and for a long time.

Edwin - - - "The Cat" - - - the man we all admired, envied, and loved. He will be remembered always.
