WHEREAS, Michael Kalinich left an indelible impression on the 5
people whose lives he touched, and he will be remembered as a spirited 6

president of the Strongsville Savings Bank Board and Chamber of 9
Commerce, a member of the Southwest General Hospital Board and the 10
Strongsville City Club, and the chairman of the Strongsville 11

his children, Michael, Cynthia, and Kimberly, and a doting grandfather 15
to his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Michael Kalinich 16
gave of his time, energy, and abilities far beyond what was required 17
or expected, and the laurels of his life stand as a tribute not only 18
to him but also to those he left behind. Although the void his death 19
has created can never be filled, the legacy of care and commitment he 20
established will surely live on; and 21
WHEREAS, Michael Kalinich’s concern for improving the quality of 22
life in our society was clearly evident in his devotion to his family, 23
friends, and hometown, and he displayed exceptional dedication and 24
insight in all of his endeavors. It is certain that the world is a 25
richer place for his having been in it, and he will be sorely missed; 26
therefore be it 27
