Read MoreI'm so saddened to learn of Sean's passing. He was a huge part of promoting our ShBoom nightclubs. I'll forever remember that beautifully coiffed shock of silver hair and his meticulous attire. He was a class act. He took my husband and I to countless Warriors games over the years. He just had a way about him, endearing. RIP, you no doubt have found my husband up there!

I just found out today about the passing of Sean O'Callaghan. Condolences to his family. I was an avid listener and big fan of him when he was with KLOK in the 70s. I had the pleasure and honor to meet him twice in 1974. He was truly a radio legend. He will be missed. RIP.

So sorry to have heard of Sean's passing.
I always think of him when I hear the Beatles song, I've Just Seen a Face because that's the very song that was playing when I called into the KYA listener line and got through to Sean.
I was calling to ask about another song, and after a few moments, I realized it was a Beatles song.
To clarify the reason this is significant, this was during a period before what was to be the last live Beatles concert, performed at Candlestick...

Awww, so sad to hear this news of Sean's passing. Used to listen to him all the time as 'radio' was my life as a teen growing up in San Jose. Good man. Great memories. Rest well dear Sean.
