Philip J. Kalaf, age 56, of South Elgin, passed away suddenly on Saturday, April 13. He was born on September 22, 1967, to the late Richard and the late Annette Kalaf and grew up in Streamwood.

He graduated with honors from DeVry University and earned a B.S in Computer Science. Phil dedicated so much of his time as a Client Executive for VMware by Broadcom. His trustworthy smile and strong handshake helped him develop so many business relationships and close friendships during his 25 years in the IT industry.
In his spare time, Phil could be found in the gym always pushing heavy weights and developing more friendships. Phil loved movie nights with his family and enjoyed long walks with Laura, snowmobiling with Megan and building dirt bikes with Ryan.
He was a devoted husband and loving father. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
