Hall Callan. He was preceded in death by his parents, his Wife, Zoyla H. Cantu and a Sister, Marquerite Asman. Survived by his loving devoted companion and longtime friend; Shirley Quick of Round Rock, his Daughter; Patricia A. Overton of Austin, his Brother; Warren J.

William was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force serving during World War II from October 1942 to January 1946. He was a painter by profession having worked for the State Purchasing and General Services Commission (Board of Control) as a painter in the Capitol Building and State Offices in and around the Capitol Complex. He retired from the State in 1985. William was a quiet and unassuming person who loved his family and his home and Austin and was a very talented individual and a respected person by those who knew him well. His family would like to specially thank the nurses and staff of Trinity Care Center in Round Rock who took such excellent care of William during his time there. Thanks also to Chaplain Tom Wicker who provided spiritual support to William and his Family. The Callan family will receive family and friends from 4:00 p.m., to 9:00 p.m., in the Remembrance Chapel-Mission Funeral Home on East Cesar Chavez, Friday, August 12, 2005. Graveside Committal services on Saturday, August 13, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. at Assumption Cemetery, 3650 S. IH-35, Austin. "God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, So he put his arm around you and whispered "Come with me". We watched you suffer and saw you fade away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A Golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove that he only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day, Life doesn't seem the same since you've gone away; When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong we seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on". Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping, We'll meet again some day". (Published in the Austin American-Statesman on August 12, 2005)
