I was sorry to learn of Mr. Kalin's passing.
He was a fondly remembered interim Sunday school teacher at Good Shepherd Lutheran in Wilmington, DE. I appreciated his understanding responses to my often difficult questions.

So sorry to read about the loss of your loved one. May you find consolation reading Psalms chapter 94 : 19 which will help you cope.

I knew Alex when we were growing up, I lived on Mifflin Street, West Mifflin PA, and Alex lived a few streets down. We went to Duquesne High School. I haven't seen Alex in years, he did attend my parents funeral in Duquesne, PA in 1981. Sorry to hear about his passing, accept my sincere condolences. Sandra Chuto Plattner

Al, We'll miss you, and your sense of humor. You were the consummate gentlemen. You and Sandy were like grandparents to our two girls when they were growing up in St. Louis
God Bless you and Sandy.

Al will be missed. While he supported the local museums and Botanical Gardens he also supported Bethel School for many many years through helping at functions, planning the Golf Scramble and supporting Sandy. His humor, conversation, and love of life will be greatly missed.
