Jack Kenneth Callaghan, 86, of Carlisle, died Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011, at home after a lengthy illness.
Jack was born in Tulsa, Okla., on July 28, 1925, to Harry L and Mary F (Goodman) Callaghan. He was educated in Tulsa schools.

Before being discharged from the Marine Corps, he met Velma Joy Castle. They were married on Jan. 20, 1946, and celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary shortly before her death in May 2011. She was the love of his life.
Together they raised four great children who survive him: Mary Ann Callaghan (Gregory Snyder) of Harrisburg, Kathleen Zarnowski (Richard) of Carlisle, William Harry Callaghan (Mary Beth) of Longmont, Colo., and Patricia Miller (Andrew) of Chambersburg.
