I will never forget Mr. Callaghan for standing beside me when my husband, a police officer and close friend of Mr. Callaghan, was seriously injured on the job.

My prayers and sympathies are with the Callaghan family. I've worked with Bill both on and off the Police Department. He was the Finest of Chicago's Finest and a true friend. I will always remember him.

Maureen, Billy, Karen, Laura, Brian, Barrett and Jimmy,

I was so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I have great memories of Bill and the entire Callaghan family as we grew up together on Seipp Street. The block parties, summer trips to Pennellwood, Ikes, long summer nights with the adults sitting in the driveway socializing in their lawn chairs, Bill’s practical jokes with the mannequin, Bill picking up all the kids on the block from STM during the storm of ‘79….

Bill Callaghan was a very humble and generous man. very well respected and always had time to talk to his employees. he was always in great shape and walked with perfect posture. Everytime I'd see him he'd say hi, shake my hand and ask how my family was doing. I will miss him. god bless you bill.

What a wonderful man Bill was, kind, caring, always thinking about the other person. My sister was so lucky to have found someone as genuine as Bill you couldn't have asked for a better husband, father and friend. We will miss him dearly, my heart hurts when I think of him, it is so hard to belive he is no longer here with us.
