Lawrence Callaghan, Westerhailes—The community of Westerhailes is mourning the loss of Lawrence Callaghan, known affectionately as "Larry," who passed away peacefully at home on October 5th. He was 94 years old.
Lawrence, a cherished father and grandfather, was known for his kindness and deep love for family. He moved to Westerhailes in 1975 and continued to live in the area, residing in Murrayburn until his passing. As a devoted family man, he helped raise his five daughters and was actively involved in the upbringing of many of his grandchildren. His care and support extended beyond his own family, touching the lives of many in the local community.
To honor his memory, his daughter, Josephine Olsson, has organized a fundraiser dedicated to supporting the Westerhailes Youth Agency, a local charity that provides much-needed services to children up to the age of 18. The charity runs a drop-in center that offers a range of support for young people but is in need of additional funding to continue its essential work. Lawrence’s family believes he would have been proud of this initiative, as his life revolved around the well-being of children and his community.
In just a short time, donations have begun to pour in for this meaningful cause. Family and friends, including Lawrence’s granddaughter, Wee Jessie, have contributed to the fundraiser, with generous donations from Pamela Gray, Connor.2003 Currie, Karyn Butter, and Jennie Vaughan.
The community’s love and admiration for Lawrence Callaghan continue to shine as they come together in support of the charity, reflecting the heart of a man who spent his life giving to others. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy of kindness will live on through this charitable effort.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Callaghan family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they celebrate the life of such a loving and caring individual.
