ROBERT J. CALLAHAN Jr.

Robbie was connective tissue to many of us, through his music and unswerving encouragement. He will never be forgotten!

My condolences to Rob's family, and wishes for peace for all.

Whitney and Family I am so sorry for your loss. May God's love and peace be with you all as you go through this difficult time

Condolences to the Callahan family. I was a friend of "Ace". A wonderful man. God bless. -Elizabeth Hinchey Doyle

Robbie was one of those folk who always put a positive glow on any festival, or party, or venue you went to...always looked forward to seeing him with the string band at larry's or other gigs...he'll be sorely missed!!

So sad to hear of his passing. I met Robbie a few times throughout the years since the late 1980s. Also saw him perform with String Band (the band he shared with Friend's Beth and Frank). He was always emphasizing lifes kindest moments through his music, embracing the things that made him feel free. He often posted videos of himself surrounded by trees, meadows, flowers, nature. Sometimes he would make up a new song right in the moment and record it directly to facebook while he was enjoying...

I'd like to express my deepest sympathy to all of Rob's family. I am one of the many, many, New Haven area musicians who benefited from and enjoyed Rob's kindness and support over all these years. He was always a champion and advocate for the "locals" here and could be counted on for a good laugh as well as a great show. In particular, I remember many great nights of music at the Cape Codder and the Eli Whitney Barn. Thank you Rob, New Haven already misses you!
