CALLAHAN, WILLIAM

Private services have been held for William Callahan, 86, of Secaucus. He passed away due to Alzheimer’s on May 25. Born in Jersey City, to Elizabeth and John Callahan. He was a devoted husband, amazing dad, grandfather, and great grandfather. He accomplished so much in his life. He was a veteran of the Korean War. He was also a mailman, mechanic, and house painter. Then for 31 years he was a well-respected and dedicated police officer at Port Authority NY/NJ. In addition to these accomplishments he was often seen working on his various projects involving his home in Secaucus, his cars, or anything else we asked him to do for that matter. In reality, he was a guy who could fix/build anything! He was the husband of Harriet Callahan;  father of Maureen DiDomenico and her husband Joseph, Catherine Viggiano and her husband Pasquale, Eileen McGovern and her husband William, and William Callahan and his wife Margaret; cherished grandfather of Joseph DiDomenico and his husband Joseph, and William and Michelle DiDomenico, Christian and Nicholas Viggiano, Cassidy and Ryan McGovern, and William Callahan,III; adoring great grandfather of Shane DiDomenico; and  brother of the late Margaret and Arthur Callahan. William also leaves behind his nieces Jane Harnen and Bridget and Patricia Callahan, and his nephew John Callahan. In the future his survivors hope to hold a Memorial Mass at Immaculate Conception Church in Secaucus. Services arranged by the Mack Memorial Home, Secaucus.
