I can't believe it's been 10 years, that can't be right. I distinctly remember conversations we've had - word for word.
I am trying to live a good life using you as my inspiration. I have my days, but overall things are good.
Life stands still for no one. Every sunrise and sunset is a blessing. I realize all that, I'm just glad that as I get older I have memories that will last forever and you are in the best of those that I hold close.

I've been searching for Peter since graduating from BC together. We met in French class where we became fast friends and I became close to Stella; the best dog ever. He will be missed and I will continue to think if him often.

I left Concord in 2005 when I graduated from law school. I lost touch with Peter then but would occasionally google him to try to reconnect. I knew he was planning on leaving Concord but I had no idea where he ended up. It never occurred to me to include the word "obituary" in my search. A colleague of mine happened to learn of Peter's fate when doing business with the other Atty. Callahan in Concord. She shared the sad news of his passing only yesterday...all these years later.

My time in Concord was blessed with sharing a bit of time with Peter. We'd sit outside on nice days at the Barley House, sometimes play darts there or sometimes toss the ball to the pup in his yard. I loved to take him food shopping except that he was frugal and always wanted me to describe all the sales at the ends of each aisle. (I am NOT a bargain shopper) He'd also call me when he wanted to order a movie on demand so I could tell him how many times to hit the "down" arrow before he hit the one he wanted to watch. Maybe that's a silly thing to remember...

I've missed him since I left Concord. I miss him even more now. And I wish I had been there ...to hold his hand..and thank him for sharing his life with me...

I was thinking last night about how the boys (and me and Susan) used to look forward to going out to dinner on Friday or Saturday night with you. Funny how simple things (the best things) like that pop up out of the blue. So with the addition of James Peter we have covered all the Callahan boys names and in order. Ian Scott (oldest), Isaac Paul (middle), and James Peter. Pretty neat how that worked out.
Please ask the angels & saints to help those with no food or homes this Christmas season.
Peace, Brian

Peter,
It's so hard to believe that a whole year has passed. We miss you terribly. I'm sure your having a grand time sharing Red Sox and Patriots stories with Scott and Uncle Dinny, and that Memere and Pepere are taking good care of you, as well as Nana and Grampa Callahan. We have so many wonderful memories, and we think of you every day. We are taking good care of Oscar, and he still loves to come and scare the squirrels and chipmunks away. Give Scott a big hug for us. We love you.

Hi Peter,
I never got to say this while you were alive so I will say it now. Thank you. Thank you for loving my boys. Thank you for treating them equally. Thank you for accepting them for exactly who they are. Thank you for loving them equally. Thank you for seeing only the absolute best parts of them. Thank you for being an inspiration for them. Thank you for wrestling with them on the floor, the chair, the couch, the ground, the car and every other spot that allowed it. Thank you for cheering them on at their hockey games in freezing cold arenas. And now thank you for looking after them from above. We all miss you very much.

Amy Dumit (Callahan)

June 23, 2008

Hi Peter,
As I near the anniversary of your death, I can't help but wonder where this year has gone. It's like I've just been trying to survive each day without you. Words cannot express how much I miss you. It's an emptiness inside that nothing will fill. It helps just to write that feeling out. At least its' acknowledged.
But I do want to thank you for something I know you had a hand in. Bob and I have learned that we are expecting after twelve long years of trying! The second I saw the "two lines" in the window, I couldn't help but smile in shock and amazement. I guess you knew what I needed. A beautiful new gift in my life to take away some of the pain. Quite a 40th birthday present you came up with for me!
Not only were you my big brother who always helped me on earth, but you're my guardian angel who now looks after me from above.
I love you.

To the Callahan Family

I lust learned of Peter passing away this morning when I was reading Alumni Notes. Peter and I graduated from BC as well as BCLAW together. I always found him to such a tremendous source of positive energy. He was a great person and I am sincerely sorry for your loss.

To the Callahan Family:

I was so sorry to learn recently in the BC Magazine of your loss. I shared an apartment with Peter at Boston College junior year, and have many fond memories of him. He was a kind and wonderful friend in college and we kept in touch in law school. The last time I saw him was at a bar exam review class at BC, and we swapped stories about our first jobs out of school. He was certainly a great lawyer, but more importantly a great man and wonderful friend. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Callahan family, I am so shocked and saddened to learn of Peter's death in the BC magazine. My thought are with you all. I met Peter and Stella at BC as a reader and we became wonderful friends. We were roommates after college and friends ever since. I emailed Peter a few months ago and thought it was strange I didn't hear back. I am so sorry. With love, Sarah Slattery

Nancy (Angiola) Burke

December 3, 2007

I met Peter in 1994 at Boston College. I was a freshman in need of a part-time job, and found work as a reader for disabled students on campus. I was introduced to Peter and a friendship quickly developed. Knowing him taught me a great deal. Through him I experienced college (and life in general) without visual sight, but learned through his example that through determination and perseverance, anything was possible, despite obstacles. He also helped me through a difficult time that first year, and was always a wonderful listener. After we finished whatever reading assignment was scheduled, Peter enjoyed playing his guitar and singing, and I enjoyed listening. I'll never forget the song he wrote for me; it was beautiful and special and mine.

I lost touch with Peter after he graduated, but this month I found myself wondering how he was doing, or where he was living. In flipping through BC's quarterly alumni notes today, I was very saddened to read of Peter's passing. I know he touched so very many people, and he will never be forgotten by them. My condolences to his family; I can't imagine the sense of loss you are feeling.

Sue & Family,
Today at lunch, a friend mentioned a church Mass they had recently been to in remembrance of lost loved ones. She mentioned that some of Pete's family were there and this was the first I learned of his death. As I type I wonder how this could be? How could I have missed this when I live locally and often pass and wave to you Sue, as I drive by your house?

Pete and I gradutaed together but it was Pete's friendship with my late husband Dave that brings fond memories to mind. Dave, Pete and Craig would drive around in Dave's car having lots of innocent fun. I wish Dave was here to help me recall the details! I rememeber Pete as having eyes that twinkled and although he was soft-spoken, he was not shy. I wish that we would have stayed in touch. After reading all of the messages here, I can see he was faced with lots of obstacles but you must all be so proud of how he handled everything and how accomplished he was! He certainly lived a full life!

Maybe he and Dave have re-acquainted and are having lots of laughs. I hope so.

My prayers are with you as you miss and remember him.

While our time together was rather insignificant when measured strictly in timescale, his impact on my life was nothing short of enlightening. I will always hold memories of Peter dear to my heart. He and my oldest brother Craig were great buddies in school. I met him when my years on earth were barely measurable in double digits. Many years later I ran into him while attending college at Keene State. We both were planning on visiting our respective homes so we arranged to drive back to school together. We had great laughs about how to him I was still the girl named “Craigs little sister” because that is how he last saw me. He showed me how the smells that floated in thru the car windows that sunny day indicated the changes in scenery-visible only to me-as we drove back to campus past freshly mowed fields, ice cold mountain streams and even the restaurants in downtown Keene. To cap off the trip we went for a meal in town. From campus to the restaurant he made me walk with my eyes closed as he guided me along the streets in downtown Keene. What an amazing experience that was. I am so proud to hear of all he achieved and honored to have memories, though few they may be, of Peter in my life. What a tremendous man.

Craig Murphy

Mr. & Mrs. Callahan, Paul, Susan, and Amy:
It is with deep, heartfelt sadness that I place this belated entry in Pete's guest book after just learning of his passing. Pete always smiled and had the gift of being able to make every person he met laugh. Although, we had lost touch over the years I have so many fond and happy memories of the times we spent together. Those endless homerun derby games at my parent's house, playing basketball in the coldest of weather with Pete and Scott at your house, being invited to your camp in Ossipee, to having the exact same tuxedos at our prom are just a few of the memories that come to mind. It's so very obvious from the entries in this guest book that he has a special place in the hearts of his family and so many others as he does in mine. My deepest sympathies to all of the Callahan family.

Jean (Warnke) Schultz

October 11, 2007

Mr. & Mrs. Callahan, Susan, Brian, Ian, Issac, Amy and Paul,

I am sorry for my late entry as I just learned of this site today. What a beautiful tribute to Peter. I remember Peter as a funny and energetic kid, always up to something with a twinkle in his eye. He made me laugh in school and always seemed to have a smile on his face. My dad tells stories of the bets Peter use to make with the guys at Tri-City Dodge years ago and how full of life he always was. I am so sorry for your loss and I know there will forever be a void in your lives. I can only hope happy memories will help lessen your pain. Susan and Brian, I love you both and think of you often. Rest in Peace Peter.

Susan

August 22, 2007

Hi Peter,
Today is Ian's birthday and your absence is felt more than ever. He misses you terribly and tells everyone we see that you are gone, whether we know them or not. You made him feel so special every time you saw him, not just on his birthday. I am taking him this morning to get the sneakers you were going to get him for his birthday. I know that you would go to the ends of the earth to get them for him. I miss you terribly today too--there will forever be a void.

August 4, 2007

I knew Peter at Keene State College and also grew up in Somersworth (although my name is completely changed, it was Traci Mahan). Although he was older than I growing up, I knew him through my older sister, Cheryl (Wallace) Myers. I remember sitting in a Psychology class at KSC and staring across the room at a new student, Peter, who looked really familiar to me but yet was blind and I hadn't ever had a blind acquaintance. Still, the familiarity gnawed at me so I went up to him after the class and introduced myself. We were both surprised to find out who we were to each other. We became friends. I used to read to Peter - materials he could not find on tape. He was a wonderful soul, joyous, kind, funny and handsome. We had many fun times at KSC and I was happy to have had the opportunity to cross paths with him at that point in his life. We did not stay connected afterwards although we had one chance meeting where he was accompanied by his furry friend. They had a true love affair. I was so impressed to see all that he had accomplished since then. I'm sorry that his disease progressed so and ended his life at such an early age. His spirit will live on of course and his example of how to live life has no doubt touched many. I hope you are all managing ok and am wishing you much strength in your grieving. Warm regards and heartfelt condolences, Kat

It has been years since we have seen each other and my heart goes out to you and your family. Being from a family of diabetics including myself I know what a difficult disease it can be.

To the Callahan family: Our families grew up together and I remember a lot of fun when we were kids. Pete and Paul Jr. would have us in stitches. I remember you all coming up to our camp in Maine every August. We looked forward to your visits. Over the years we were informed about Pete's trials and achievements and were so proud of him. He obviously has made a considerable impact on a lot of people's lives. He was certainly an inspiration and humbled us all. You must be so proud of his accomplishments and the difference he has made during his life. His passing will be a great loss to many. I'm touched as I know you must be by such a response from his friends and colleagues. You were such a support for us during our loss, I hope that you will allow us to do the same for you. Our love and sorrow to you all. God Bless, Nancy, Brian, Mike, Kevin, Colleen and Luke Hussey

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Callahan,

I was very sorry to learn that Peter Denis Callahan has passed away. On behalf of the community of Phi Beta Kappa, I send our sincere condolences to you and your family.

Your son was a well regarded member of the Society; inducted for demonstrating a commitment to academic superiority and intellectual integrity. The Society deeply appreciates all that he did during his lifetime to promote excellence in the liberal arts and sciences, freedom of inquiry, deliberation of values and differences, and the continued advancement of knowledge and understanding.

If there is any way in which your son’s association with Phi Beta Kappa could play a role in your honoring his life and work, please let me know. We would be ourselves honored to cooperate however you might wish.

We read his published obituary with interest and a great deal of Phi Beta Kappa pride. We very much appreciate that his membership in the Society was noted among his activities and accomplishments over his lifetime. Being mentioned in association with your son is a great honor.

Please know that you and your family remain in our thoughts during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

John Churchill
Secretary

Peter - Thank you for all the great memories (riding bikes, times at camp, playing ball, sleeping on your couch for 2 weeks when I ran away, riding in all of your barely road legal vehicles) and for just being a true friend! Say hi to Scott and Chris for me. I will miss you friend!
Callahan family - Thank you for letting me be a part of your family and being there for me, as I am always here for you. Peace.

Dear Callahan Family
I was in charge of hiring at Hill & Barlow for many years. I have always regarded our decision to hire Peter as one of the best things we did. He brought so much to our firm, more than we were ever able to give back.
As a fellow native of New Hampshire, I felt a strong closeness to Peter. I have lost a good friend.
My condolences on your loss,
Joe Steinfield

Marty England

July 27, 2007

Peter was a good friend, and quite possibly the funniest dude I ever knew. I have nothing but glowing memories of the laughs and conversations we had over the years. Although we'd lost touch many times throughout the years, we were always able to connect to the exact point for which we'd last left off. He was a true brother from another mother, and I will miss him dearly.

To my friend Amy, Paul and the rest of the Callahan family, I am deeply sorrowful for your loss. My thoughts are with you. You should be nothing but proud of your brother and son, as he'd touched so many lives through the years, and will be remembered forever.

Gunnar Wieboldt

We were summer associates and fast frieds together at Hill and Barlow and for a few years after in Beacon Hill. He was a fascinating guy to spend time with and I will miss him.

Maura Trafton

July 26, 2007

Dear Callahan family,

I met Peter many years ago, at a time when we had both recently been diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy. I admired his strength and grace then and have thought of him throughout the years. I was extremely saddened to hear of his passing, and, at the same time, so impressed with all the sucesses Peter achieved in his life. How proud you must be to have had Peter as a son/brother. I extend my deepest sympathies to you and hope that you will be comforted with the knowledge that Peter was an inspiration to many.
Sincerely,
Maura Trafton

Dear Pete,
This is Mike Pouliot's mom, Fran Wentworth. You still called me Mrs. Pouliot, always with respect. It was a joy to see you at the house over the years with Mike, Chassie and Shawn. I lovingly thought of you all as my other "sons". You knew that I was an over-protective mom and you would guarantee me that Mike would be safe. Thanks, Pete, for always bringing him home. We are so very proud of you for all your accomplishments, determination and courage. Due to complications I cannot be with your family, but you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart is breaking. Pete, you will be greatly missed. We all love you.

To Peter & Family: I didn't know you long Peter, just from November forward on the GSIL BOD. But I came quickly to respect and like you. We often didn't see things the same way, but we could always discuss it and I always was glad you could bring out another side of things. I am truly shocked at the passing, and am sorry you won't be around to add your special gifts to the world. I am glad I was able to tell you that before you passed on, and I hope you rest in peace. I, for one, shall sorely miss you. Lorna Greer

You were such a great guy to be around. Always a true friend. You will sorely be missed but I am grateful for the times and memories we shared.

Timothy McKay

July 25, 2007

Every word you speak, every word you read about Pete, are not words brought up from his passing, they are words spoken and felt while he lived. I lost contact for years but always thought of him, wanting him to meet my 10 year old daughter. I can't claim we were best friends but I can claim he was my best friend. I remember having to carry his candy around in middle school when he was first diagnosed(or when I first found out) We hung out in high school and every memory was about laughing, when we met up again when he became blind we picked up right were we left off,,,laughing and for the past ten years or so I have wanted to do it again but couldnt. take care family and friends, Im still laughing and Im sure he is too!

Christina VanHorn

Louise, Paul, Amy, Susan and Paul;

To the Callahan family - May you find solace in Peter's legacy of resiliency and perseverance. Both (as well as many other admirable traits) served him well in his lifetime of personal, academic and professional accomplishments.
