Francis C. "Rip" Callahan

I was really sadden to learn of Rip's passing. At times I would jokenly call him Francis and he was okay with that. He was a friendly guy who would give you respect if you gave him respect and I respected him a great deal. The many times after bowlling on a league I would head to the bar and Rip would join me along with Marcel and others who bowled there and we'd all have a great time drinking and eating pizza and such. I would often buy Rip a drink and he in turn would reciprocate. And...

Rip Callahan, was a very friendly person who helped establish Bowl'A Rama almost 60 years ago. He will be missed.

Although It's been years since I've lived in CT, I spent many years at bowl-a-rama in the 60's to early 1970's. R.I.P. was a few years older than me. Please know he'll be in my prayers along with his family.

Sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss seeing him at the allies on Fridays. Joe and Rose Kozun

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Callahan family at this difficult time.Although I have only known him for less than a year I found him to be a pleasant and caring individual who always took time to chat and give me some helpful tips on my game.He will be missed.God bless.

To my friend, "Rip" you will be missed by me.
You were like my brother to me. Always there.
My prayers will be there for your family and you,
Know that I will be there for your family whenever
they want or need me.

We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Rip. Our prayers and thoughts are with Lisa, his children and grandchildren and the entire Callahan family. May Rip Rest In Peace.
