Dayan, Kalimo

Son of Samina and David, was born in Tripoli, Libya, on July 1, 1944. When he was four years old, Kalimo immigrated to Israel with his grandparents, who established their home in Ramat Gan and raised him until he was drafted into the IDF. Kalimo studied at the Neveh Yehoshua elementary school in Ramat Gan, and then began working with his uncle. Klimo was drafted into the IDF in early May 1962 and was assigned to the Armored Corps, where he served as a crewman and commander of a tank in the Armored Corps in the south, and took part in the Six Day War and the War of Attrition that followed. In 1976, Kalimo married Shoshana, and they had two sons and a daughter, and he was a devoted family man who married his wife and children. He was also a loyal friend of his family and many friends, and after the evacuation of Sinai, Kalimo began to serve as a camp commander in the backbone of the formation. In the rear unit after many years of service on the first line, he did his job successfully and helped the unit and the staff who needed his help, and Klimo was an excellent organization man and did not need to explain to him the importance of the work and mission involved in his work. On February 3, 1985, a senior sergeant, Kalimu, was killed while serving in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. He left behind a wife, two sons and a daughter, parents, four brothers and two sisters. His family commemorated him in a synagogue in Ramat Gan. His friends wrote to his memory: “… Do not fall in you spirit / because you are the pillar of fire / You are the bravest in people / made of steel, always fire / with a great Jewish soul …”
