Mr. Callais was one of the oldest licensed barbers in the state of Louisiana and the former owner of Callais’ Barber Shop for 66 years, He and his son worked side-by-side for 17 of those years.

He leaves a legacy of a loving husband, a wise father and mentor, and a special friend to many who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Our family would like to extend our gratitude to Harris Chabert, Carnetta Saul, and Sharon Pierce for their devoted care and attention over the years. Also, Dr. Michael Marcello, Angelique Torres, and staff of Ochsner St. Anne Hospital and Dr. Kenneth Wong of CIS-Raceland and Acadian Ambulance.
