Richard graduated from the University of Houston in 1973. He worked as an electronics technician and finally got his dream job as a corporate pilot. He was actively involved in anything with a plug, things that float and things that fly.
He is preceded in death by his father and mother, Mary and Jessie Callihan, and his brother, Byron Callihan.
He is survived by his son, Michael Callihan; his daughter and son-in-law, Patricia Callihan and Brad Sizemore; his grandson, Sean Sizemore; and his sister, Barbara Mitchell.
The family would like to thank Lee Skipper for the help and guidance he provided our family during this difficult time.
Family and friends are invited to attend a Memorial Service at Forest Park Lawndale Funeral Home Chapel on Saturday, May 18 at 11:00 AM. Visitation with the family will begin at 10:00 AM.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in their honor to Bladder Cancer Research Fund, Johns Hopkins Medicine.
This man of excellent character will be forever in many hearts.
