Died Sunday, February 25, 2024 of natural causes. Preceded in death by parents Frank and MaryJane Kalal; brother Ed; and two wives Kathleen (Jasperson) and Joann Phillips.<br><br>Survived by sons Pete (Khin) William and John (Amy); grandchildren Win, Lin and William Jr.; brother-in-law John and sister-in-law Lisa; nieces Nicole and Betsy; nephews Sam and Nathan. Loren received his Master’s Degree in public administration from the U of M and went on to work at the Minnesota State Patrol for 39 years.<br><br>Only to retire and asked to come back and work part time ‘til he got in his 39½’. Loren could invent anything, his sharp attention to detail only rivaled his sharp sense of character.<br><br>He was always a thinker and loved a good challenge, he could wait out any problem until it ‘went away.’ He loved being involved in local politics and was a member of the planning commission in West Lakeland Township for many years. The one word that would describe Loren would be honest. Never wanting to cheat anyone and always paying for what something was worth. During his long career at the State Patrol he made many friends, it was not uncommon to see a patrolman or even the chief of the highway patrol cutting wood in his woodyard back in the 70s or 80s. God Bless him, He will be missed. Funeral Service 12 Noon Thursday, March 7th with visitation 11AM-12PM at O’Connell Funeral Home 520 S. 11th St. Hudson, WI 54016. Interment Bayport. Memorials preferred.<div></div><br>
