| 6776 |  | Obituary- Kagay, Stephen 1 Stephen Kagay October 21, 1953 — September 10, 2021 Stephen Dennis Kagay passed away peacefully early on Friday, September 10. He was nearly 68 years old. He had been diagnosed with liver cancer earlier this year. He fought bravely for six months before succumbing to the illness. He died as he had lived, surrounded by members of his loving family. Steve was born in 1953 in St. Joseph, Missouri to Don Kagay and Ida née Davis. He displayed tremendous work ethic from an early age, maintaining a paper route for many years and winning awards in the process. He excelled in school, where he also played baseball. He graduated high school with honors at the age of 17. He enrolled in UMKC, where he met the love of his life Virginia (Ginger) née Madrid. They married in 1973. Steve graduated with a degree in Microbiology in 1976. He spent a successful 25-year career in the pharmaceutical industry. During this time, he was recognized for his outstanding performance six times, and won national awards twice. He was a noted expert in his field for his knowledge, management skills and business sense. After retiring from this industry, he worked for a tactical gear distributor for a few years before starting a business as a handyman. He loved his family, friends, and everyone else. He was a stranger to none and a friend to all. He always had a smile ready and loved making people laugh (or groan) with his arsenal of dad jokes. To know him was to love him. When he wasn't spending time with family and friends, he often spent time in the service of others. He especially enjoyed serving the Church and was passionate about his Catholic faith and his profound love of God. Steve is survived by his wife of 48 years, Ginger. Together they had eight sons and a daughter: Anthony (Andrea), Chris (Monica), Pete, Mike (Hannah), Mary, Louie, Jamie (Marcie), Tom and Joe.

| 6786 |  | Obituary- Kalcik, Victor 2 Farmer’s Will is challenged by relatives When Victor Kalcik, a 66-year- old Berryton farmer, died of cancer Feb. 2, few persons imagined his estate would amount to much. His last wishes, to be buried “in the Kalcik family lot in the Czech Cemetery north of Rossville” with a grave marker “of the same size and kind as my brother Albert’s,” were carried out after a modest funeral. He had lived all his life in Kansas, farming with Albert, a nephew, Victor Saia, recalled. “Neither of them ever married. They had lived with my grandmother in Rossville where they were born, until she died in 1933. “Then they went on their own, partners, you might say, in ev-erything they did,” Saia said. Farmed, Raised Cattle “My Uncle Vic more or less went along with what Uncle Albert wanted to do. They farmed and raised cattle mostly.” In 1980, at the age of 65, Albert died. Just about everything he owned, Saia said, passed to his life-long business partner, his brother, Victor. “It was all really just their’s. They had started from scratch together.” On Feb. 21, about three weeks after Victor’s death, his will was filed in Shawnee County Probate Court. Apparently the second such instrument he had had executed, Victor Kalcik’s last will and testament listed an estate estimate to be worth in excess of $210,000. Though he was one of eight children—most of whom were married and had several children and grandchildren—Victor Kalcik chose to leave the bulk of his property to two sisters and two Topeka charitable organizations. He named nephew Victor Saia executor of the estate. Sold Holdings Not too long after his brother died, Victor Kalcik sold off most of the holdings, the nephew said. “His cancer was discovered about seven years ago and he decided to retire. He built himself a nice little home out in Silver Lake, up amongst the friends he had known all his life. It was completed about four years ago. It’s really a shame he didn’t get to enjoy it more. “But, he had gone along with Uncle Albert,” Saia said. “Albert used to say he just liked making money and saving it— like women like to sew or go shopping.” Saia said he could not recall either uncle ever travelling much. “I used to think Uncle Vic ought to take some of what he had saved and travel. Just go out and enjoy himself a little bit, but he was happy where he was.” Will Challenged Now the will has been challenged. A suit filed Thursday in Shawnee County District Court, actually the protestations of several relatives not named in the will which had been filed in Probate Court, claims Victor Kalcik was not mentally competent when he directed the final distribution of his property. The action asks the court to decide if Victor Kalcik’s will is to stand as filed or to find, as claimed, Kalcik was under duress and not able to understand what he was doing when he authored the instrument. There apparently is no question of the will’s authenticity. It directed the home in Silver, Lake and $10,000 cash to go to Mrs. Emma Finstad, a sister in Silver Lake. Another sister, Mrs. Christina [handwritten note said Anna] Saia of Emmett, was to receive $20,000. $160,000 to Charities The bulk of the remainder was to go to Capper’s Foundation for Crippled Children and Topeka chapter of the Salvation Army. The two charities were to split about $160,000. Under a former will, however, Victor’s sisters, Mrs. Mary Vacek of Glen Elder and Mrs. Anna Saia (who married Mrs. Christina Saia’s husband’s brother) and his brothers, Joe Kalcik of Mayetta and Ed Kalcik of Scranton, all were to receive shares of the estate. Also mentioned previously were a nephew, Theodore A. Fleck of Wakefield and three grandnieces, Mrs. Patricia Bender, Mrs. Julia Peters and the former Barbara Smerchek whose married name is not known. | |
