QUINCY On a sunny and windswept Saturday, Chris McCallum s friends and family gathered in a small park off East Squantum Street to organize a tribute to the beloved father of three sons. In between hugs and misty eyes, they handed out black and red ribbons, the colors of his alma mater North Quincy High School, to be hammered to utility poles along the causeway in the tight-knit Quincy community of Squantum.
It has been two years since Chris McCallum, of Bridgewater, was killed. His family says he was struck by a fatal punch while trying to break up a fight less than a mile away outside of a concert at the American Legion Robert I. Nickerson post. He was 44.
