KALAU, Richard (Georg) Oswald - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Richard (Georg) Oswald Kalau on July 13, 2021, in Lindsay, Ontario, at the age of 84.
Richard is survived by his sons Stephen and Brian and his grandchildren, Olivia, Jonathan and Russell.
He was preceded in death by his wife Donna Kalau (nee Williams); his daughter Karen and his brother Fred. He will be remembered fondly by Elizabeth, Michel, and Mark.
Richard was born in 1937 in Montreal to Martha and Friedrich Kalau. He graduated McGill University (P. Eng. Mechanical Engineering) and was a man who could fix anything. In 1960, Richard married his high school sweetheart, Donna, a feisty redhead who kept him hopping through life.
Richard enjoyed scuba diving, photography, boating and weekends at the property in North Hero, Vermont. I
n his later years, Richard enjoyed spending time in Florida, reading and playing bridge and cribbage with his friends and family. Richard was a caring husband, devoted father, and loving grandfather.
He was a kind man and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. We are hopeful that in his passing, he has been reunited with his loved ones who have passed before him.
A memorial gathering for both Donna and Richard will be held August 21st from 1-4 p.m. at Celebrations, 35 Lindsay St. N., Lindsay, ON.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to CAMH or the Canadian Cancer Society.
