To the whole Callahan family....I am sorry for your loss of Paul. I was unable to attend the calling hours. I was saddened to think about all the fun times when we were kids on Bohling and Scott Ave. I am always thinking about all the kids in each family that used to live in the neighbor hood. So many hours were spent on the ball field or just hanging out. Best wishes to all of you, Paul will never be forgotten
