Marvin Edward Kalin passed away peacefully in his home Feb. 1 at 94.
Marvin was born in Chicago, raised in Los Angeles, a graduate of Fairfax High School and UCLA, and a true L.A. man. He was a World War II veteran, a businessman and proud former owner of the Santa Palm Car Wash.
A man of many interests, he loved the symphony, theater, the Lakers, good food and was a voracious reader. He traveled the world with wife Ruthie and enjoyed his time at the beach — especially Blue Lagoon. Above all, he loved his family. Everyone who had the privilege of knowing him loved him.
He was the beloved husband of Ruth; devoted father to Lisa (Drew Kugler) Kalin, Matt (Leisa) Kalin, David Kalin, Judie (Matthew) Leeuwen and Karen (Gary) Zelcer; and proud and loving grandfather to Gabrielle, Rachel, Hannah, Alexandra, Mia, Marissa and Ryan.
Donations in Marv’s memory to Skirball Cultural Center or Stephen S. Wise Temple are appreciated.
