It is with much love and broken hearts the family of Wilson Elwood Callan wish to announce his peaceful
passing at Carbonear General Hospital on the morning of Aug 13, 2022 after a brief illness at the age of
82. Predeceased by parents Fred and Pearl, parents in law Harold and Selina Smith, brothers Don and

Janice and Jason (Jill); Grandsons Bradley (Ally), Dylan and Ryan; Sister Loretta (Sharon); Brothers in Law
Martin Smith, David Smith (Linda); nieces and nephews and a large circle of friends.
Wilson spent his life as an active builder of his community both in his professional career as a teacher (17
years) and MHA (13 years) and in his many volunteer activities. He was a founder of a number of the
institutions that have touched many of our lives. Helping to create the first town council of Norman’s Cove
– Long Cove, serving as mayor and councilor, Commanding officer of the 2903 Lions Army Cadet Corp,
President of the Trinity-Placentia Stadium Commission, board member of the Isthmus Area regional
Development Association and Trinity-Conception-Placentia Health Care Foundation. A lifelong member
and past president of the Norman’s Cove lions Club. He was also an active member of his faith community.
Serving on numerous church boards, singing in the choir and as a soloist and an active member of the
Bethel United men’s fellowship.
Wilson lived a long and fulfilling life; as he neared the end, he was ready to set aside his burdens and rest
in peace, content with the legacy he leaves behind. He was blessed to have been able to live in retirement
longer than his working career. After working for 30 years, he retired and spent the next 35 years
remaining active in his volunteer work; stepping aside from the town council and TCP health foundation
just last year; and enjoying his hobbies such as trouting, dancing with the Lancers dance group and
spending time in the woods. During their retirement Wilson and Ella spent many summer days camping
across the island and enjoyed many trips with their camper in tow to Lab City.
Every time we hear the iconic song “Music and Friends” we all remember Wilson with love as this was one
of his favorite songs and exemplified the things, he enjoyed the most.
