Dear Kalb Family...
You have no idea who I am, but, first let me say I am so sorry for your loss.
I felt compelled to write tonite as, ironically, I came to the computer just now to "google" Jonah Kalb. For whatever divine reason, I saw my copy of Jonah's book "How to play baseball better than you did last season" on my shelf tonite, pulled it down and looked through it after at least 30 years. I read the forward and could tell that Jonah and I shared a love of baseball and youth baseball, despite our age difference (I'm 46). I guess it takes one to know one. I only glanced through the book, but, found his teaching advise was very much what I taught (and the way I taught) as my son and daughter have played. I can only reflect and imagine the life he led after the book, which I'm sure he led quite well.
I love coaching youth sports, particularly baseball, and miss it now that my kids are older (16 & 20).
I wanted to mainly let you know that Jonah's work and passion are still meaningful and helpful to someone who never knew him except through the words he expressed in one small book. I am hopeful this may make your memories of Jonah richer to know of his influence to others.

Sending love to the family - although I have not met Jonah, I feel as though I know him through LInda. My deepest condolences for your sad loss.

Dear Jan, Laura, and Eugene,
I'll always remember Jonah as someone who tried to make you think and always made you laugh.
"Hey, what's the big deal about Saturday night?"
"Oh it's beer, beer,beer, that makes you wanna cheer on the farm, on the farm..."
There was a lot of singing, joking, and kidding around. He was a great guy. I'm sure you'll have your sad moments, but take the time to relish the fun memories too.
Love,
Lynn

Jan & Family- My condolences. Many years ago, Jonah and I worked together for far too brief a time. For some reason he selected me to mentor (in his own Dutch Uncle way). Best thing that ever happened to me. I'll never forget his gravelly voice, nor the advice.

Dear Jan & Family:
Jonah is one of our favorite people - always good laughs with him - always good baseball talk - always a wonderful sense of humor and a warm smile. He was special.
Our love to all - and prayers and good memories for Jonah.
