MYRON DONALD CALKINS

I just recently heard of Myron's passing. What a great man we have lost! My husband, Brad, and I had the pleasure of traveling overseas with Myron and Lenore to Greece, Turkey, England, Cornwall and Wales. Myron's energy and sense of adventure was awesome. He always wanted to go to "the end of the end of the end" of any path we were on. I will always treasure those memories of my friend, Myron.

Myron, your smile, commitment, enegry, and generous contribution of knowledge and time for your APWA community will live on forever in our hearts. I know I will never forget you

I owe so much to Myron, who at an APWA meeting in 1964 when I was Assistant Wyandotte County Engineer, he encouraged me to finish my degree and then get back to public works. I followed his coaching for a long time since. I remember at the 1977 APWA Congress in Chicago, he looked me up to see if I had made arrangements to return because of the flooding in KC and Independence. He had to come back and I stayed and learned and made plans for what to do when I got back. I didn't know it then,...

Mr. Calkins set a very high bar for all of us, as a person, as an engineer, and as a public works advocate. My condolences to his family and appreciation for sharing him with us here in Kansas City.

Mr. Calkins was a very sweet person, I work at a Dentist office that Mr. Calkins was our patient, I thought alot of him,one of the best,I will truely miss him such a nice sweet person. Connie

I was sorry to hear of Myrons' passing. I know he is at peace now free of suffering. My parents are also memebers of Church of the Good Shepard. Mom often talked about all the wonderful things your Dad had done for the Church. May you find peace in your wonderful memories.

I miss you, Dad. Thanks for being such a great father; for your love, guidance and devotion. We are blessed that you were such an important part of our lives.
Love,
Don

I was sorry to hear of "Uncle" Corky's death. I have so many fond memories of your family and ours and the Nicholl's at many Daffodil Parades and various other events with the Forum and Frolic and church. I am sure mom, dad, Bill, Edna Mae, and "Aunt" Nettie will be having a grand celebration in heaven!
I will be unable to attend the service but will certainly be there in spirit!
Much sympathy to you all.
