Kenneth CALLON Obituary

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I was saddened to learn of Ken's passing and of the void he will leave in everyone's lives. I recall a man of dry wit, humor, and sociability who enjoyed people. These are traits that will live on through his sons and grandchildren. He will always be with you. Kia kaha Val and whanau.

To Val and the extended Callon family, please accept our deepest sympathy on the very sad loss of Ken. We had many interactions during our time at the Mount View Store, mainly on sport of course (but sometimes the weather). Ken knew his stuff on many fronts and will be sorely missed by all that knew him. Our thoughts are with you all.

Have known Ken for fifteen years. Always looked him up when down in Timaru.
Love and best wishes to the Callon Family
Regards
Bruce Thomson, Wellington

To Val, Dave and extended families. So sorry to read of Ken's passing - an Old Boys stalwart , and one of life's great characters. I always enjoyed our post-match chats from a wise and true sportsman himself. Thinking of you all. RIP Ken. Regards Brett Jenkins, Lake Hawea.

Dear Val, Dave, Ross, Phil & families & all who loved him
Special thoughts to you all at this saddest time.
Ken was lovely, every interaction was a joy.
We will all miss his kind countenance, cheeky smile & his smelly tomatoes.
The world is a little poorer now, but we are richer for having known him.

Sorry to hear of your loss great memories at the pool for many years a lovely guy

Special workmate and friend. Condolences to Valmai and family. Barry and Mary Jones.

Condolences to the Callon family, Ken being a staunch pirate gave him the right to be a one eyed jersey pulling supporter for Timaru Old Boys. His input into the club behind the scenes was instrumental into their success in the 70s and his prowess on the bowling rink made him a feared but popular competitor. Always opinionated and often proved right, was always great to have a robust discussion with.
Thanks for the memories Ken and of course the wind beneath his wings Valmae.

Many good memories of Ken we worked together at Watties in the 1970s and over the years would catchup at Rugby and 9on the Bowling Green.
RIP Ken.

So sorry to read of Ken´s passing I have so many great memories of Australia and timaru time which I treasure. My thoughts are with you all at this very sad time kind regards to you all

To Val and all the Callon family

Very sad to see this notice today. From all the Johnstone wider family our sincere condolence to you all. We have very fond memories of the rugby days with the Callons in the 1970's in Timaru which then carried on to Dunedin and my late dad, Jim, enjoyed many happy escapades with Ken on the bowling greens. A terrific bloke.

I remember Ken as a Sales Rep for Watties in the 60's. Unfortunately our team numbers in that era are getting less as they years pass. Condolences to Ken's family.

To Val, Dave, Ross and wider Callon Family
A True paasionate Rugby man who shared great pride of his Son's endeavours as he should, and was always interested in others - Great Community Man - Treasure the Memories
