The president of the Wisconsin Sikh temple, gunned down along with five others Sunday morning, was recalled Monday as an open-hearted, generous man who died defending the house of worship he helped build.
Relatives and temple members say Satwant Kaleka, 65, was shot as he tried to stop the attacker with a kitchen knife.
