HARVEY KALLES Obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Harvey Kalles, who passed away peacefully, on July 9, 2025, surrounded by his beloved family. Harvey shared 66 extraordinary years of marriage with the love of his life, Elise, whom he affectionately called his "little woman." Their deep bond and unwavering devotion to one another served as a shining example of partnership, love, and joy. Together, they built a life rooted in family, tradition, and an abiding love that inspired all who knew them. Harvey was an adored brother and brother-in-law to Grace and Dave Horenfeld (z"l") and Lily (z"l") and Ben Friedman (z"l"), Albert and Cecile Sliwin (z"l"), Bernard and Paulette Sliwin (z"l"), and loved by all his nieces and nephews. Harvey's proudest accomplishment was his family. He was a devoted father and father-in-law to Corinne (Joey z"l") and partner, Stephen, Shawna (Jeff), and Michael (Dana) and partner, Waleuska. He was the most fun and loving grandfather to Jana (Jeremy), Jake (Jordyn), Ali (Zachary), Russell, Melanie (Ave) Olivia, Moriah, Emma, and Ace. He also leaves behind his cherished great-grandchildren: Joey, Harry, Estelle, and Levi. To his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he was simply "PAPA" - a source of wisdom, strength, and unconditional love. His legacy lives on in the warmth of family gatherings, the lessons he shared, and the deep love he gave so freely. Harvey will be remembered not only for his devotion to his family but for the integrity and generosity with which he lived his life. He was admired, respected, and above all, deeply loved. He lived a full life - surrounded by love, grounded in values, and forever etched in the hearts of those he leaves behind. May his memory be a blessing. We're truly grateful for your kind thoughts and support. Following the funeral, we will be observing a family shiva, but we will be honouring Harvey's memory through celebrations of life with friends and loved ones at a future date. Memorial donations may be made to the Sinai Health Foundation (416-586-8203 or https://bit.ly/3U29T1z).
