Richard Kalish Obituary

Dick, one of my dearest friends from college days. How we will miss you. Margaret La Hue Samuelsen, Albuquerque New Mexico.

Desr Elli:

My sincere sympathy about Dickie's passing. We grew up together on Christiana Avenue. He was the main reason I went to Grinnell. After a very long period we met again at the College. I was planning on catching up with him this summer when I'm in Chicago. To you, your family and Mickey my deepest sympathy.

Dear Ellie and Family,
We were so very sorry and saddened to hear about Dick. He was always such a cheerful, considerate and thoughtful guy. A really goodhearted person. We were all Dick's family. Our prayers and condolences on your great loss.
Love from Barbara Lief and Jacquie Brave

Dear Ellie,
We just learned about Dick's passing and are shocked. Dick and you have been some of the most delightful friends over 50 years. It's hard for us to believe that he is no longer with us. His memory will be with us forever. He was an outstanding insurance agent and we spent many wonderful times together on many of the educational conferences. Our deepest sympathy.
Much love, Dede and Sam

You are all in my deepest thoughts and prayers... Dick was an incredible man and so calm and kind in his way. May he rest in Peace... thank you for sharing time with me during your visit to New Orleans. I will remember Dick fondly.

My sincere condolences to the entire family.
I have worked with Dick for many, many years and found him to be one of the most pleasant individuals I have had the opportunity to know.
He will certainly be missed.

Ellie, Pam and Jill,

I'm so sorry and sad that I cannot be there with you at this time. I was just looking at pictures of Dick at our wedding - it's hard to believe it was just a little over a year ago. His cheerfulness and joy in the happiness of anyone close to him is something I'll always remember. My thoughts are with you on such a difficult day and at such a hard time...

We are so sorry to learn of Dick's passing. He was a real "mensch" and a pleasure to know. Ellie, and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Louise and Steve Cohn

Ellie and family,
Dick was a true friend. I could always rely on his humor and love. Our friendship goes back 55 years. You and Dick are part of our lives and we will miss him.

Jill,
I am so, sorry to hear that your dear father has passed away. I can't imagine the pain, but please know that I am thinking of you. I will remember you telling us his comment about Chinese restaurants and I smile and hope you are able to smile a little too, despite the sadness. Lots of love and a big hug to you and your family, Allyson

I know what it's like to lose a father, Jill, and I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this. My thoughts are with you and Steve and your family. Reading in the Sun-Times about what a great storyteller he was lets me know that you will always have great memories to keep. My dad was a great storyteller, too, and I'm always surprised how often his stories pop up in my mind. He'll really always be with you.

Much love you to and Steve.

My sincere thoughts of sympathy are with you and all of your family. Keep the happy memories close to your heart. I know it is not an easy time.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Richard . We go back a very long time. WE were members of the same army reserve unit 361 medical lab.WE went through basic training at Ft Leonard Wood,Mo..He sold me a couple life insurance policies after I just got married That was back in 1966. A very long time ago Joe Goldhaber San Diego,Ca.

We are sorry to be so far away , but we send our love to you and to everyone who is grieving Richard's passing. It's hard for us to imagine his bright light gone missing in Evanston, but we're holding you and our memories of that irrepressible soul close in our hearts.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jill, and your family. Although I never met your father, you shared him with us at GO! regularly through fun and lively stories - take care and take time, and know that we love you.

Maurice and I hold you in our hearts. We will always remember Dick as a warm, funny, and gracious man. He had an infectious love of life and people; our lives were enriched by knowing him.
Nancy and Maurice
