In Loving Memory
Predeceased by his father Samuel Callari, mother Rose DePaul Callari, sister Lucille Callari, and Grandson Joseph Sylvester Callari. Survived by his wife Joan, children Andrea (Brett) Eliasz, Joseph Vincent (Minyi Lin) Callari, and Kristy De Rovira Callari (former daughter in law), grandchildren Giancarlo Joseph Eliasz, Christopher Jackson Callari and Walter Zhong, sister Maryanne (Sam) Masaracchio, brother-in-law Victor Tomaselli, cousins Paula Tomaselli Vieira, Bob Tomaselli, nieces and nephews Roseanne Masaracchio, Angelo Masaracchio, Michael Tomaselli, Gregory (Cassie) Tomaselli, and great niece Melissa Manuele.
He was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and a friend to so many. He spent his entire life working tirelessly to provide his wife and two children with the very best life he could give them. His family was his greatest pride, and he sacrificed everything to make sure they were happy and cared for.
He was known for his incredible sense of humor, his ability to make everyone laugh, and his generous heart. If anyone ever needed anything, he was there at a moment’s notice. He made friends wherever life took him and treasured friendships old and new.
He loved his Harley-Davidson, which he proudly built from scratch, hunting, and woodworking. He was an incredibly talented carpenter who could build almost anything with his own two hands.
Above all, he adored his grandsons. They were his pride and joy, and he loved them more than words could ever express.
He gave his family a lifetime of love, laughter, memories, and unwavering devotion. He was deeply loved by many and will be missed beyond measure.
His greatest legacy is the love he gave, the lives he touched, and the family he built. He will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
Calling hours will be Sunday September 27, from 2-5pm at Dierna Funeral Home 2309 Culver Rd. His Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday September 28, at 10am at St. Ambrose Church.
