In remembrance of John McCallum

John McCallum (AO CBE), a loyal supporter and Patron of Redkite since 1993, has sadly passed away aged 91. John was a true pioneer in Australian screen, stage and television. Our thoughts are with his beloved wife Googie and family.

John will be greatly missed and remembered always by his loving family, friends and people who had the honour of working with him through his many contributions to Australian society.
