Robert Callachan, III 59 of West Yarmouth died peacefully Friday October 7, 2016 at his son’s home in West Yarmouth, after a strong battle with cancer.

Born and raised in Medfield, Mr. Callachan was the son of Marilyn (Perkins) Callachan of Naples, FL and the late Robert Callachan, Jr. He moved to Cape Cod in 1969 and was a 1974 graduate of Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School. He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy.

Bob loved his children and especially loved spending time with his granddaughters Addy and Gabby. Bob was an avid New England sports fan, but especially loved the Red Sox. He loved youth sports and was a coach for many teams over the years. His grandchildren will forever remember “Bob Bob” for his love of life, and football Sundays.

In addition to his mother, Mr. Callachan is survived by a son, Robert IV and his wife, Karla of West Yarmouth; a daughter, Heather Sharon Callachan of South Yarmouth; two granddaughters, Adrianna Vanessa and Gabriella Grace; a brother, Scott Michael of West Yarmouth; and his former wife, Dawn (Graham) Callachan. In addition to his father, Bob was predeceased by a sister, Sharon Callachan.

Visiting hours will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday October 15 in the Hallett Funeral Home, 273 Station Ave., South Yarmouth.

Interment will be private.

To Bob's family I send my sincerest sympathy for your loss. Although I haven't seen Bob in many years, he was the salesman for W.B. Mason that I would order paper supplies from when I worked at the VNA I. So. Dennis and I always enjoyed our conversations. He was such a nice guy. Angie DuDeVoire

Marilyn, Scott, Dawn, Bob and Heather I am so sorry and send you all my love and prayers. There are no memories from our childhood that don't include Bob, Scott and Sharon. Our cousins were our best friends and playmates. We are out of state and are sad to not be able to join you on the 15th to share memories and celebrate Bob's life. God bless you all. Chris also sends his love to you all. Cousin Mary
