CHRISTOPHER JOHN MCCALLUM
16 MARCH 1962 - 11 APRIL 2026
The ODU is extremely sad to inform the OD and Bishops communities of the passing of Chris McCallum.
We send our deepest condolences to Karen, James (2010-OH) and Jemma and their families.
Chris matriculated at Bishops in 1979, as Head of Ogilvie House.
A full tribute/obituary will be posted as soon as possible.
The celebration of life service for Chris will take place at The Mitre at Bishops at 4pm on Monday 20th April 2026.
It will be live streamed, from about 10 mins before the service starts.
NB: If we experience a drop in connection, the service will be recorded and uploaded to the link as soon as possible after the service.
