I'm so sorry and shocked to hear about Cal! So strange that I'm sitting in Central Park in New York where Cal and I used to hang out when we worked at camp America together in 2000 and I was wondering how I could get back in touch with my old friend and Marta too. How devastating to find this news online. Cal was one of the kindest, loveliest and most good people I ever had the privilege of knowing. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family whom he loved and spoke of so dearly.

Cal, as we stumble upon almost a year after your death, I cant believe you're gone. You'd be glad to know we are still a family, Mom, Marta and I. We think about you often and talk about you alot. It's sad that you can't be here to continue to make memories with us. We are not whole without you but we have no other choice but to move forward. I miss you everyday but firmly belive that you are in a better place. I love you forever! Your sister, Tina

Vicky and Tina: The service was beautiful, truly befitting your son and your family. I know everyone there was sharing your grief, even if in a way that was barely imaginable. I know it's not much consolation, but there are no words that have not been said and that could convey much more. I know Cal's life left a footprint on many hearts, and that he left the world not as good as he found it, but better for having been here. Keep that in mind as you go on, and know that you can always count on me and my family.

I remember you both and how Cal helped carrying the cooler with food , how pleasant his personality is . I will give a donation to the sierra club .

Dear Vicki,
I am so sorry to hear about the sudden loss of your beloved son, Cal. You always spoke with such pride about both of your children, and you took such joy at their accomplishments and what kind of people they had become. I am more sorry than I can say that you and your family should suffer such a loss. I wish you and your family and friends grace and peace as you grieve for Cal. You are in my prayers-

Toya,
I remember Cal when he was just a little boy. I remember that he took me on a tour of the coast near your house at Key largo and he gave me detailed explanations of everything we saw. There was even an abandoned boat which he proceeded to tell me a story as to how he thought it got there. Super nice young man....this event took place more than 20 yrs ago! I left your house that day impressed with his sensitivity about things around him and his ability to communicate details about the environment - even at that tender age! Toya, the loss of a son is one of life's greatest tragedies. When Lina and I heard of Cal's passing, our hearts went out to you. While the physical body of Cal is now gone, I know that the quality time and the relationships that you had through the years as a family will continue to be a part of your life. It is our prayer that Our Lord will sustain you and give you strength during these times of loss as the memories of Cal continue to be with you throughout your days.

Dearest Vicky, Tina & Martha:
My fondest memories of Cal started when he was just a young one year old litle boy, as I was one of his first baby sitters! His cute, loveable personality was evident at such a young age...The greatest memories I have are playing with both Cal and Tina while I watched over them. His gentle, kind and respectful manner will be missed by us all....Let's cherish the wonderful times we had together with Cal and remember his sweet and smiling face always...

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. I know that we have had no contact for many years. Last a saw Cal he was still a young kid. We feel for each of you since we know that no bond is as great as that between mother & son; brother & sister; husband & wife; father & children... Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. May you, Tina, his wife, children, and the rest of the family find peace and solace in Jesus Christ and his everlasting love.

Mi querido sobrino "little Cal":
Deseo expresarte los momentos de felicidad que tu me proporcionaste durante tu vida. Cuando naciste, donde yo me encontraba presente, tu padre me abrazó y me dijo: "mi hermana es otro Calixto Acosta". Cuando eras pequeño te cambiaba tus pañales, te cargaba, disfrutaba mucho contigo en los cayos pescando, paseando en bote, etc. Recuerdo los momentos cuando me visitabas y me decías: "Titi Mariela, eres la mejor cocinera de Miami". Cuando presencié tu graduación de la Universidad y te di un beso y te dije: "este beso es en nombre de tu padre, ya fallecido, y tambien en nombre mío". Cuando entraste a tu hermana a la Iglesia para su boda y estabas ocupando el lugar de tu padre. Las tantas veces que me decías: "I love you Titi Mariela" y yo te contestaba: "I love you too little Cal. Los momentos tan agradables que pasamos en las fiestas de Navidad y Thanksgiving.
Mi adorado sobrino siempre tendrás un lugar muy especial en mi corazón. Fuiste siempre un ser tan dulce, cariñoso y limpio de alma que Dios tiene que tenerte en un lugar muy especial en su reino. Descansa en paz mi querido sobrino. Mis oraciones siempre estarán contigo.
Tu tía y madrina, Mariela Navarro Acosta

I worked with Cal at The Miami Herald. Although I did not know Cal well, he made such an impression on me from the first time I met him. He was so friendly and went out of his way to introduce himself to me. I immediately knew that he was a sensitive, caring person. Words can not express the sorrow I am feeling for you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Vicky, Tina and Marta (whom I have never met),
I learned about the tragic passing of Cal this morning through our mutual friend, Frank Garcia. I am stunned by the enormity of this event.
It is hard to be so far away geographically... I now live in Israel, when I wish I could hug each of you, close to my chest, and share some heart-felt tears.
We all believe in God as a kind Father to all of His creatures. Cal loved nature, and this love brought him in communion with the universe. His soul was good and pure, and he is now lovingly cuddled by our Father.
Regardless of our present geographic distance, love, friendship and kindness know no boundaries. All of your friends are here for you... even from the far away Galilean mountains where I now live.
¡Que Dios los bendiga a todos, y que guarde, con mucho amor, el alma impoluta de Calixto Alfonso Acosta!

Cal...there are way too many memories for me to write on here. I just lost a brother and sadness doesn't quite cover what i'm feeling. The thousands of memories throughout so many years of perfect, yet at the same time "perfectly dysfunctional" friendships will always be remembered in my heart with so much pride, laughter, and deep fondness...See you on the other side my brother, RIP.

To all that Cal loved and that loved him
I have no words to express how I feel. All I can do is pray with all my heart so that you might find the strength and courage to go on. I know Cal has found Peace in God's loving welcome, and I hope you can find it too in the memmories of his life and times with us. I will always remember the ones I shared with your family that was mine too. They will always be treasured in my heart and like in mine, Chewy will live forever in all of us.
I Love you and celebrate the life Cal shared with us.

I was shocked when I heard the sad news. I was one of the first people Cal met when he started at The Herald. He stopped by my desk to ask me a question and saw all my pictures of when I met Johnny Depp and other celebs and we instantly became friends because he loved all my quirky things on my desk. We shared a love of movies, and he was always telling me about different books he was reading. He always had a smile on his face. Even after I left The Herald we still kept in touch through Facebook. He will be greatly missed. My heart and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time.

Dear Marta, Tina and Vicky my thoughts and prayers go out to you. I will miss my cousin Cal very much I chated with him approximately 2 weeks ago we talked about the famous "vest" and how I felt he should have it since it was and is symbol of my uncle his father and now him. We talked and laughed about our memories and adventures on the "Victoria" and how the vest is a legacy of the Acostas. I will always remember the two of them together on the "Victoria" Father and Son always.

There are no words to express the sorrow we feel for Cal's passing. The only thing we need remember are the good times we spent with him.
I have many memories of those good times in the Keys as well as when we went to Sanibel and Captiva on many occasions. I do remember vividly many times when Cal and I lighted up a cigar together, those are the times we need to remember
Vicky you should be proud of being an excellent mother and the fact that you brought him up alone. I can vouch for that. Tina and Martha you were also excellent sister and wife, my respect to you.

Cal helped build support for the Everglades Skyway over Tamiami Trail to restore water to the National Park and Florida Bay. Without prompting, he created a Facebook page for the Skyway. It takes a special person to do that. He was my Facebook friend, and friends to others at the Sierra Club. Our condolences to his family. Maybe he live on through the lives he touched and the contributions he made.

Dear, sweet Cal:
I have so many beautiful memories of you as a young child playing with Daniel and Adam. You were truly part of our family. My most precious memory of you was when Daniel was born and you went to share your "aya" with him because he was crying. You were always tender and loving and just wanted to be loved. I hope that you felt the love that everyone had for you. We all commend you to the loving hands of our heavenly Father and our Blessed Mother. May they give you the spiritual peace that you have always searched for. Our eternal love, Titi Maru, Tio Jon, Daniel, and Adam.

Marta and Family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear the news, Cal was a great colleague while at Yellowbook.
We will never forget the lunch hours were we would sit around and laugh and make jokes. He was always smiling, always willing to help out, a great member of our team . He will definitely be missed.
Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Marta, Tina, Vicky, and Family,
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I pray that God's peace be with you during this difficult time.
"We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see you again some day, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean good-bye."

Tina and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.
