To my Callahan cousins, I am so sorry for your loss and pain. Aunt Jean and Uncle Jack are smiling to have Ricky with them in peace for eternity, Nana and Grampy too. As so many others are saying, your brother was a special soul, shy, easy going, peaceful and calming when you were in his presence.. Forever missed. Barb Passalacqua
To Cousin Ricky’s family, and those of Janice and Bob and Jeannie, how sorry I am and how badly I feel to hear about Rick's passing. Words don't say it. Family feeling runs deep for me, even if I can't always be around to see everyone. Your whole family, Aunt Jeannie, Uncle Jack, the rest of you all, played a big part for me coming up, and I remember you all with a smile and a laugh and fond memories. Ricky always reminded me of your Dad, who I thought was the greatest. I had seen Rick a few times over the years, mostly at Beaver Brown Band shows that he came to, and always the old familial closeness would come to the fore. Ricky, like the rest of you, was in me like the rest of our amazing family of relatives. All my condolences for you and yours. Gary Gramolini
My sincere condolences to my cousins, the Callahan Family, on Ricky's passing. I have the best memories of Ricky and the family when I would ride my bike over to the house (oh - that hill!!) and hang around with everyone. And I have wicked fond memories of the rented cottages at Alton Bay. the whole family would be invited by Jack and Jean. It feels like a lifetime ago.
I've experienced the loss of my own sister Maureen this year, and so I know how you all may be feeling. I wish you comfort during this difficult time. And peace to all. And love.
Cousin Valerie
Our sincere condolences to all of Rick's family. It was clear that he loved you all in the fond way that he would often speak of each of you. It had been a difficult several years for Rick, but I believe he now has 20/20 vision and has seen our Lord, face to Face.
Peace,
Keith and Kathie Burton

You were a wonderful friend to my brother, and a kind, gentle soul. Peace be with you. I hope the two of you are fishing together again.
