In Memoriam: PDG Theodore (Ted) P. O'Callaghan
|
Ted O'Callaghan Exhibited Leadership as Decatur Mayor and Rotary District Governor
 Theodore Peter "Ted" O'Callaghan, Sr., 89, embraced life with his warm sense of humor, keen intellect and ability to inspire others to action. His death on October 16, 2010 leaves a legacy of generous and dedicated leadership in the City of Decatur, the state of Georgia and beyond.
Ted held leadership positions in a number of professional service organizations. He was President of the Decatur Lions Club in 1963-1964. A member of Decatur Rotary since 1976, Ted served as the club's President in 1984-1985, the first year women were allowed into the club. "What an asset," he had said. "If we don't get them, Kiwanis will!" He then presided over 64 clubs as Rotary International District Governor in 1988-1989. "War is a rotten, dirty thing," Ted said. "Through Rotary, perhaps we can find world peace."
Ted was an active member of Druid Hills Baptist Church for many years. There he filled many needs, including teaching the young adult Church School for 20 years, and serving as Chairman of the Board of Deacons. Ted's compassion for others never ceased. In 2002, Ted worked with homeless children living under a bridge in Miami in his third mission trip with the church. Recently, Ted became a member of Westminister Presbyterian Church, joining worship with his best friend since childhood, Leslie (Buck) Buchanan, M.D.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, October 19, 2010 at 11:00 AM at Wesminister Presbyterian Church with Rev. Tim Kay and Rev. Glen Herndon officiating. Interment, Westview Cemetery with military honors. Honored to serve as honorary escort will be members of the Rotary Club of Decatur. The family will receive friends from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM Monday at A. S. Turner & Sons and from 9:00 AM to 10:45 AM Tuesday morning at the church.
