Leo O'Callaghan
October 31, 1924 — May 24, 2011
Leo O’Callaghan, age 86, of Green Lake, WI, passed away on Tuesday, May 24, 2011, at Juliette Manor in Berlin.
Leo was born on Halloween of 1924, in Los Angeles, CA, the son of Leo Francis and Alpha (Mac Knight) O’Callaghan. He grew up in Los Angeles, visiting the Green Lake summer cottage, built by his grandmother, as often as possible with his parents and sisters. He later served in World War II, returning to graduate from Loyola University and then marry Helen “Susie” Connelly, of Oxnard California in 1950.
Like his parents, Leo and Susie raised their family in Los Angeles, but most summer vacations were spent packing five children, Aunt Barbara, Susie’s parents, and assorted pets into the family station wagon to return to Leo’s beloved Green Lake. Leo enjoyed close relations with his extended family who continue to be a large part of the Green Lake community. Leo loved sailing his E boat, teaching his children to sail, fish, water ski, and most of all, he loved to play golf with both family and dear friends. He and Susie chose to retire to Green Lake in 1982, and finally left California for good after the Northridge earthquake in 1994. They were active members of Our Lady of the Lake parish.
He is survived by his five children, Sheila (Harold) Pohlman, Pat (Leslie) O’Callaghan, Molly (Dave) Bonenfant, Terry (Andrea) O’Callaghan and Tom O’Callaghan; his sister, Barbara O’Callaghan and nine grandchildren; Bonnie, Vanessa, Rebecca, Colin, Meghan, Heidi, Torrie, Kacie, Mary and two great-grandchildren, Kylie and Leah. Leo was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Susie, in 2005, and his sister, Sister Leo Francis in 2009.
Visitation for Leo O’Callaghan will be held on Wednesday, June 1, 2011, from 10 – 11:00 am at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, 530 Ruth St. Green Lake, WI 54941.
Memorial Mass for Leo O’Callaghan will be held on Wednesday, June 1, 2011, at 11:00 am at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Green Lake. Father Philip Krogman will officiate. Inurnment will follow at Dartford Cemetery in Green Lake. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, charitable donations be made to the organization of your choice.
