In clicking around today, I came across this. Never got to meet the man but was always a fan. Only a year ago did I discover his daughters and their amazing talent. What a great father-daughter relationship. All kids (and dads) should be so lucky.
Sincerely,
Former Chicago broadcaster

Thanks for sharing the classic "Johnny C On The Loose" clip! There is no other like John Callaway, a top-notch journalist, a master interviewer, a wealth of information and insight, and a damn funny guy to boot! They truly don't make REAL journalists like him anymore, such a loss to the medium and to the city of Chicago.
RIP Mr. Callaway, thanks for the good times!

Sniff. Brought a tear to my eye. We'll miss JC but are happy you're still among the stacks. See you in a week or so. I'm clicking that clicker-whatever right now.
