Memorial Information



An Open House Celebration of Life for Bob Callahan


Date: Saturday, June 11, 2011
Time: 1:00 to 4:00 pm
Location: Switzer House, St. Louis Priory School campus
500 S. Mason Road, Creve Coeur, MO 63141 (see below for updated directions and parking information.)


Bob and Peggy's families will be here from California, Minnesota, Florida, Illinois and Missouri to gather with  friends and rejoice in his  life.


Food, wine, beer and soft drinks will be served while we mingle. A piano-violin trio will play. There will be a short informal program of remembrance at 3 p.m., during which anyone is welcome to share memories, stories, thoughts or readings. 


The family is planning to attend the parish Mass at St. Anselm's Church, which is also on the grounds of the Priory School, at 5 p.m. Any guests so wishing are also welcome to attend.    


(Updated) Directions to the Switzer House: use your favorite map-website to find the intersection of Priory Lane and South Mason Road,  Creve Coeur MO 63141. Of the two entrances to the Priory Campus on Mason Road, Priory Lane is the southernmost (i.e., closest to the Interstate). There is, however, no street sign marking it. Follow Priory Lane into the center of the Priory Campus. The Switzer House will be on your left. 

Parking: On Priory Lane,  you will pass the tennis courts, and when you reach the "T" intersection, continue straight ahead into the main parking lot.

Handicapped parking and access: there is a small lot on the west side of the Switzer House Ii.e., the side facing Mason Road). There is a wheelchair ramp for entrance to the Switzer house on that side.  



Memorials: those wishing to honor Bob's memory are welcome to donate to a charity of their choice. The following were among Bob's favorites, and may be accessed through these links:


The BackStoppers  
The Buddy Fund  
The Saint Louis Priory School  
The School Sisters of Notre Dame
