Paul Edmund O'Callaghan
December 5, 1941 — December 21, 2012
Paul Edmund O'Callaghan, 71, of Meredith, N.H., died unexpectedly of health complications at home on December 21, 2012.
Born December 5, 1941, in Lynn, Massachusetts, he was the third of four sons of James S. and Helen (Knight) O'Callaghan. Paul spent a happy childhood in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and at the family cottage on Wentworth Cove Road on Lake Winnipesaukee, N.H. He attended Marblehead schools and graduated from Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., in 1959. He matriculated to Colby College. Paul earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Business Administration degrees from New Hampshire College (SNHU). A lifelong learner, he pursued certifications in Network Systems Administration and computer science.
In 1962, he joined the family's Citizens Band radio manufacturing company, Tram Corporation. His career was interrupted during the Vietnam War when his National Guard unit was deployed; following his tour of duty, he returned to work at Tram, eventually working his way up to Accountant. When Tram/Diamond Corporation was sold, Paul became the business manager of Oriental Rug Auction Review, Inc. for eight years. For several years, he was self-employed as an accountant, until he was hired by the Internal Revenue Service, Boston, Massachusetts; he retired in 2012 after 10 years of service.
Paul's interests included music, and he was a collector of stringed instruments. He enjoyed physical exercise and martial arts, and he earned a brown belt in karate.
Paul was predeceased by his parents, Jim and Helen O'Callaghan. His is survived by three brothers: Jack O'Callaghan of Meredith and his wife Nancy (Laurier); Ron O'Callaghan of New Hampton and his wife Lyn (Bourgault); and Rick O'Callaghan of Meredith and his wife Susan (Heath). He was especially fond of his niece, Robin O'Callaghan Lamprey, her husband Scott and son Jamie, of Moultonborough, N.H. He is also survived by nieces, a nephew, grandnieces and grandnephews, and several cousins.
There will be no calling hours. Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that contributions be made to the charity of one's choice.
