He received his schooling in theater from Kent State, Trinity University, and the Dallas Theater Center. The music and arts at First United Methodist Church of Dallas was an excellent outlet for his love and talent, earning his 15 years of membership.

Paul was an avid photographer, accomplished director, occasional actor, and former mime (with Mime on Stage troupe). Preceded in death by his father, mother and brother. Survived by his partner of 30 years, Michael Mueller. A Memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 7, 2012 2 p.m. at First United Methodist Church of Dallas. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to FUMC Dallas for the Paul Callihan Theater Scholarship Fund.

That smile, those twinkling eyes, and the (then) curly mop top head of hair. Back in grad school I told him that he reminded me of the precious cherubs lolling about in the great master paintings. He had obviously heard that before and so introduced me to the term used to describe them - 'pooties". See you later, my cutie patootie pootie!

Love, Ronni Lopez (Vermont)

Paul has been a treasured friend for over forty years and in all of that time, I never heard anyone say a bad word about him. Everyone who knew him loved him. Even in the darkest of times, his positive outlook and sense of humor could lift your spirits, and as we face this terrible loss, we miss that perhaps most of all.

The twinkle in his eyes and his impish grin will remain with me forever.

Such a nice person; an addition to whatever he did. The choir was one of those places where he will be missed.

Paul was not only my employer, but also a mentor, colleague and dear friend. A void in my heart remains. I pray for God's strength and guidance to work through all who were blessed to know him. Michael, my heart is with you.
