Paul Terence Callaghan 19 August 1947 - 24 March 2012

Paul passed away peacefully just before 9am today, Saturday 24th March. Miang, Chris, Mary and I were with him. It was just as he would have wished.

We are heart broken. But we are so pleased that we were able to be with him at the end. It was our final gift to him. He showed us how to die with courage, dignity and flair. It was his final gift to us.

We will post details of the funeral as soon as we are able.

(The beautiful painting of Paul was painted by Miang.)

    I am so sad to hear this news. Paul was a wonderful man and such a great inspiration to so many. He will be remembered fondly by all the people whose lives he touched. I learnt so much from him and will never forget him. You are all in my thoughts.
