Obituary
Neil Layne MacCallister, born November 25, 1953, in San Diego, CA, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, January 21st.
His parents were Frank and Joan MacCallister, both deceased. He has three brothers, Frank, Greg, and Dennis, a sister Laurie, and leaves behind three children, Adam, Patrick, and Emma, a granddaughter Kyra, numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins, and enjoyed spending much of his life with his beloved, Patty Chan.
Neil attended both Antioch High School and Los Medanos Junior College before graduating with a degree in Microbiology from UC Berkeley in 1985. He had a great zest for learning and exploration and held many different positions over the years. He served our nation as a Marine Corp reservist, studied the behavior of various microbes as a microbiologist for companies like Chiron and BioZone, and found his life’s calling in construction, especially through concrete and carpentry, leaving an impression on friends and family members through his high-quality work in cities all across the bay area.
A devout father, Neil was very involved in his children's education all the way through to their own college graduations’. He loved to play guitar, read a wide range of books from classics to philosophy, along with the daily newspaper, and listen to rock n' roll, classical music and the Metropolitan Opera. He gave unusual but thoughtful gifts and was always ready to help a friend or stranger. There aren’t many in his life who wasn’t greeted by his famous “Happy Day!” He was especially generous with his time and donated many hours a year to local service groups, including the AAUW, Kiwanis, Lions, Rivertown Jamboree, GATO, the Chichibu Sister City Organization, and St. Ignatius Church, and gained a high degree of satisfaction from his favorite event: the AAUW Christmas gift wrapping fundraiser!
Neil will be deeply missed for his kind, loving, and helpful spirit. The family has asked that those who wish to honor his memory do so by donating to the AAUW’s Delta branch. Bingo!
Anecdotal My Brother and Me
In the early 60's we lived in San Diego. My dad was in the navy and it was his turn to "go to sea." My brother Neil and I were 10 & 12 at the time. My mother, a devout Catholic, insisted we go to church. There was five of us so we went to church in shifts. My brother Neil and I would go to early mass. Then we would watch my baby brother Dennis so my mom, sister Laurie, and Greg could go to church.
My dad was at sea for about 9 months. On Sundays, Neil and I would dress up and "walk to church." On the way, we would find a Sunday paper to read. We would sit in a nearby canyon, read the funnies, talk about boy stuff, and watch the front door of the church for when people started leaving. When mass was over we would get in line to get a bulletin, proof that we had been to church. On the way home, we would find pop bottles and cash them in for candy at the liquor store. One of my fondest memories of us.
He was the smartest person I ever met. He knew the answer to any question I had or he would hand me the definitive book on the subject. He used to write the longest text messages. It used to irritate me because I don't want to use my phone that way, preferring a meeting, phone call or email for long matters. But that's what he did, he was unique and I already miss those long windy text messages from him.
