Harry Kalar
In loving memory of our dear father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Harry Kalar, who passed away April 24, 2003. Home is a special place where dreams are planted and hearts begin to grow. Where laughter is a welcome sound and tears can find a quiet haven. Where love is a gift, strong and sure, and memories give you smiles for tomorrow. Home is the special place that holds you and molds you and becomes a very part of you until one day you realize … that no matter where you wander, no matter where you roam, the gift of a loving family will always bring your heart back home.
