I am sure Bob is Resting in Peace this day. God bless and grant strength to Pat and Bob’s loving family!
I was very fortunate to work with Bob for 9 years in Greenwich, and there wasn’t a day that I didn’t remark how lucky I was. He was a kind, dedicated worker who’s excellence was displayed daily. We worked many long nights and I don’t ever remember Bob complaining about anything—it simply wasn’t in his DNA! His only complaint was when the NY Yankees would beat his beloved Red Sox. He recalled a story to me that one night after a late night meeting he was driving home on I-95 enthralled in the Boston Red Sox late inning game...until someone honked at him since he was driving about 25 miles per hour on the Interstate!
Good laughs, hard work and a kind gentle person...that was Bob Kalm!
With Deepest Sympathy,
Marcos J Madrid,
Commissioner, DPW (1996-2005)
