Robert J. Kaval

Rob - We all miss you, Jackie, and Brian. You are now all together again up on a cloud with Adolf near by. Anyone who ever met you loved you and always will. You had a big smile and were always kind. thinking of you will always bring a smile to our faces.

Rob was my cousin and when I think of him, I can see a smile that reached deep into his soul. He had a way about him that was kind and giving and he was magical with children. I lived a different kind of life than Rob, but at the very end he called me to say
Good-bye and he told me that he loved me and to take good care of my family.
I too wish that he is reunited with his family and that his smile is truly eternal.

Here we are at journeys end
To say farewell to a Brother, Son and Friend
Now you join your wife and son
In the Sea you loved as one
Farewell dear Robert, Jackie and Brian
Now you sail the Cosmic sea in each others company
We will miss you here on this earth plane
Farewell dear Robert, Jackie and Brian
Births and deaths mark the journey of Soul
The translation from one stage of experience to
another is but a further step on
Soul’s journey...

My brother Rob was an amazing man. He lived the last year of his life with complete dignity. He was brave and strong. He taught us all how to cherish life. thanks brother i miss you.

Rob was a wonderfully jovial neighbor and true friend. Rare was there a guy more eager to lend a helping hand, and "Thank you" was all the compensation Rob required. He was a man who knew how to share and could make anyone feel welcome. Rob may not have recognized it, but he was a born leader. Who was more of an all-round good guy than Rob? We'll miss him dearly but find comfort in the knowledge that he's reunited with Jackie and Brian. The Kaval family simply left us way too soon.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Rob was one genuine,big-hearted guy. He took care of the little kids, and of the older folks. He cared about his family and his neighborhood. He worked hard and played hard and had a joke and a hug for everyone. He did his best to smile to the very end. He took a rough deal and stuck it out, and I wish him the very, very best.

We are very saddend to hear of you loss. May you take comfort in knowing that he is now reunited with his family in Heaven.

Our first memory of Rob is of his sudden arrival through the garden gate, accompanied by another pony-tailed neighbor, who let us know immediately that we were now members of a street family that has proven to be a big part of our lives. The next is of Bonniewood's first street Christmas party, held a couple of weeks after we moved in. We were still far from settled, and I was working downtown, so my potluck offering was a hastily assembled plate of very salty cheese and sausage appetizers --...
