Francis Terrell Kalmbach

Lewis, we are so sorry to hear of your fathers death. Paco was so loved by every member of our family. He always lit up a room when we were with him, in Atlanta, Paris, San Miguel, Shreveport or Gulf Shores, AL. I remember all the good times we had and will forever be grateful to have know him.
One of my favorite times with him was when I dressed up as a mammy and he painted me on the door at his ranch outside of San Miguel.
He is at peace now and I only can wait to find out what...

Sending thoughts, prayers and blessings to all of Francis' family. Always kind, always a gentleman, he will never be forgotten. Fondly, Sally Dykes Smith

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Your dad was always a gentleman - even wearing his ubiquitous checkered shirts!
He had a ready smile and was very generous. When we were about to remodel our first San Miguel home, he took time to come look it over and give his advice. We barely knew one another at that time.
Gary and I are so happy to have this oil painting - it makes us smile, as he did.

What a truly kind person he was! He always had a smile on his face and a kind word. The world was a better place because of him. Rest in peace. Leslie Cohen (San Miguel de Allende)

To all the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Paco was a dear friend of over 40 years and the principal reason I now call San Miguel de Allende home. He was a perpetually positive person and always shared the delights of life with all around him. It was impossible to be anything but enthusiastic when in his company. He never met a stranger and when he did they soon became friends! What a life he led.

Paco was such a sweetheart, such a kind dear person. We will miss him so, Judy McKay and Charles Rutherford.

My family and I are very sorry to hear of Mr. Kalmbach's passing. He worked with my father William S Wilson in his architecture firm. Francis inspired me in my own pursuit of my business as a photographer. He once asked me, "Do you know why there are walls? They were meant to hang art." I will surely miss him on our trips to San Miguel.
