My husband Kenneth is the son of Stephen Kalakailo from Elkhorn, Manitoba. Apparently, Mary was his stepsister. I just tonight learned of the passing of Gary and unfortunately I knew very little about the family relationships or family ancestry. Ken and I live in Edmonton and have been married 40 years. We have two sons now in their late thirties and the family information has been very limited. I would like to have contact with the family. I just now learned that we have been spelling our name as “Kalakalo,” No wonder I could not find any family. I spoke with Gary years ago because I wanted to learn more. Sorry for the loss of Garry, Ken has lost two sisters Irene Smith and Pat Kalakalo. Please contact us we would be grateful to hear from family. Thank you - Posted by: Kenneth & Corinne Kalakailo (Nephew ) on: Nov 19, 2024
