I had the pleasure of corresponding with Mr. Kallen several times over the last 8 years. My mother was the niece of Mr. Kallen's Uncle Arthur Maurice Kallen of Southern California.

Bob, his wife, and his family are often in my thoughts, as they certainly are today. I'll always remember with fondness, the welcoming warmth of their home.

I knew Bob from pastoral ministry to his wife Virginia while at Providence Hospital and through the work they both gave to Christ Child Society. After her death he continued to support the gift of afghans to the residents of Laurelhurst ElderPlace. Truly a man for all seasons who saw the human needs and responded with kindness and joy. RIP
I will offer Mass for his generous soul.

I really loved him; he was a gentleman. He was generous to our community. We probably won't know everything he did for us,as he was extremely modest and never wanted credit.
