CALLAN, Michael Carter - Passed away on February 15, 2005, at age 85, a loving husband for 54 years to his cherished wife Lorraine; devoted father to his four children. He is also survived by his six grandchildren. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942 and served with honor and valor, being awarded the Distinguished Service Cross with Oak Leaf Clusters and attained the rank of Captain. Michael was an active real estate broker following his discharge in 1946, at the firm that he founded, Callan Realty Company. He is known locally as a land developer and for his creativity and intuition in the introduction of the Planned Unit Development concept, a term that he coined, and his trailblazing introduction of the townhouse in the Westborough subdivision, all a part of his dedication to offering the best quality, affordable homes, of which he built more than 7,000 in the Bay Area. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
