You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.
Miss you every single day, Daddy!

With your brown eyes mischievously twinkling you left situations, places and people better than you found them. Plus you made a difference in this world especially during the WHOLE month of August! To quote another Bill - "Only the good die young." Happy Birthday.

If there truly is a heaven... "Happy Hours" abound, everyone says "Cheers" and your sense of humor and contagious smile has everyone entranced... that is until they find out ISDTIAOYB.
Miss you Daddy!

Someone once said, "A man's life lasts as long as his name is being mentioned."
How true this must be. We always mention Bill's name every time we gather with Carol. He will never be really gone.
Tan and happy.... love and miss you Daddy!

Dear Carole, Judy, & Jill,
I know & feel your pain in your loss. I wish I had, or knew the right words to say to all of you at this awful time.
I sure hope that Buzz and Bill are having a great reunion in heaven, after so many years, since they had to part ways when Buzz had to die at his very young age of 29 yrs old, of his cancer. They both were such fun loving best friends, so many many years ago. It just doesn't seem to get easier, even though it's nearly 42yrs. that Buzz had to go.
I wish to offer all three of you
my deepest and sincerest sympathy for now, and for always.
Jacki Green
Happy 47th Annivrsary

Happy Aniversary Bill
Y ou never said "I'm leaving;"
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.
A million times I needed you;
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly;
In death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one else can fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Dearest Carol, Judi, and JIll,
Where do we begin to tell you how much we share your loss and grief. You know what a special human being your husband and father was. He touched so very many lives and left them the better and smiling. He certainly was a happy fun person and seemed to live life to the fullest. As his obituary said, he had such a wide variety of interests and never was at a loss for knowledge or words. He was the best people person and so very much fun to always be around. Bernie and I are so greatful for the special times we had with him. On the 4th of July, Bernie put on a bright red shirt for the parade and reminded me " Bill Kallos went to his closet and gave me this shirt". We decided to pray a prayer for him and wear it to a "parade" in his honor... only we didn't make it to the parade. He would have smiled at that too!
We hope the happy, fun, good memories begin to surface and that you can exchange and talk about them with ease. I will never see or eat another jelly bean without praying for him. Four o'clock will never be the same for any of us. Please know we are with you in much prayer and thought. He is truly missed. I am crying from far. What a guy.
Much love,
Bernie and Barbara

Dear Carol: I read with further sadness the notice from the Chicago
Tribune Obituary.
Bill Kallos has already been missed here on Yellowstone Dr. I often
met Bill at the mailbox and indeed his contagious smile made me happy,
too.
It will be most difficult to have cocktails at Marie B's knowing Bill
will not be joining us but we shall always toast him as a friend and a
good neighbor.
Fondly, Marie Bornstein

Carol, my deepest sympathy to you and Judi and Jill. I am fortunate to have been a neighbor and good friend to Bill for the past 41 years. There is no way I can recap all of the fun times we have enjoyed and the memories that have accumulated over that time, but I will always have and cherish them. May your memories help to overcome your loss. --Emm--

Dear Mrs. Kallos, Judi and Jill,
I am sorry for your loss. Mr. Kallos was a big part of my childhood. He always welcomed me everytime I came over to the house. He was a wonderful man. I remember everytime I saw him when I came to visit Judi, he would always say "You want a piece of candy little girl" I would laugh everytime. I wish you all the best. Mr. Kallos will be in good company in heaven.

Judi and Jill, I have not seen either of you for a very, very long time...we were the best of friends in high school. I came across your father's obituary and felt I had to send a note. I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope you and your mom find comfort in the love and support of friends and family. Please know that all of you are in my prayers.

We are profoundly sorry for your loss, though we did not get to know Bill as well as others we've known Judi for 13 years, and if she is an example of her father we know in our hearts he must have been a caring fun loving,gentle and all around wonderful man.
