Reverend William A. Kalin

A dedicated priest to the poor and downtrodden in his missionary apostolate. Think of him often as when last visited the Bonicom Residence.

Miss his humor and experiences of commitment to the poor in Venezuela. He enjoyed company and was saddened his health had slowed him down.

My condolences to the family. I met Fr. Kalin in Venezuela when I was just a kid. I remember he had a great friendly personality that called my attention and he used to tell jokes when he was in the English class I attended secondary school. This is a very long story, but I will summarized saying that he worried a lot for the poor people he met in the Parish he was at. He had a school where I taught Sixth grade and where he helped the students as much as he could. Thanks to him and Fr....

I graduated from Jr. High at St.Mary's and was a classmate of Mary Jo (might have been one year older )-- I remember Father Bill was very tall and used to shoot baskets with us behind the school. He had a great friendly personality. I was an altar boy and served for him --He always tried to teach us about our faith . He was certainly a blessed man.

Condolences to the family. I too will miss his humor and jokes about self, relatives and the Church. Pray God he will meet my brother Fr. John (Jack) who part of his 1959 Ordination class. May the Good Lord be kind to him as he was so many while working to make their physical and spiritual life better.
