Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. Your Dad will be missed by many. He was such a kind-hearted, warm, generous man with great wisdom, who would really listen to what people had to say. That merry twinkle in his eyes always accompanied his genuine smile.

Mr. Kaler was a great man. He was very kind and giving. Although I was not family by blood he always welcomed us with open arms. Always smiling and so much love for everyone that he knew. I know you were welcomed with open arms in heaven by Mrs. Kaler and Papa. You and your family are always in our prayers. We love you all and give your our dearest sympathies.
“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
Deepest sympathy to the family and remembrance in our prayers.

I was very sad to hear of the passing of your Dad.
I will always remember his kind smile & his soft spoken voice.
He was a great person who I knew a a child & continued as I became a adult.
He always offered me wisdom. With my dad always at sea, Mr Kaler was like a adopted dad.He was a class act!
Sorry I didn’t make the wake ,but do know he & your entire family are in my prayers & thoughts.

Sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. He was a childhood friend of my late father’s and they continued their friendship well into adulthood. Bob was a trusted adviser to my parents for many years and was always a gentleman in word and deed. My family extends our sincere sympathies to the Kalers.
To Gail and family,
What a wonderful legacy your father left to you children. I remembered him as a quiet, humble and honorable man. Please accept my condolences. Truly this was the greatest generation.
