Not sure what to say?

Kae was a good friend all through elementary school at C.W. Henry.

I last saw Kae in 1985 when he was playing with George Howard at the Lighthouse in Redondo Beach, CA. His baseline on keyboards was smokin'. He recognized me and we spoke for a while after the show. He was good man.

RIP,
Nelson (Buz)

When I spoke with Kae last he was tickled pink about all the fun he was having doing ringtones! He was always vibrant and head first into his next project... Thats what makes him legendary as he is!

Kae was very influential in helping to shape the Philadelphia music scene during the 70's and 80's. Kae was a superb musician. We spent many hours "shedding" together in his basement. I learned many things from him.

Kae was also a very good person. He was graciously willing to help anyone who needed it. He will always have a special place in my heart and be will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to his family.

Kae played a special part in my life, as we grew from boys to men together. All things music, we shared in from 1970 till around 1983. We wrote songs and performed together all those years, and I was never on a stage without him. Vince says it best in his remarks as how our lives were shaped by the events that followed our meeting, and we learned, lived and grew together as close as brothers. Although we didn't see each other as often in later years, the times we spent together are...

Very important man in my life, even with a competing band (Sundown) in 70's Philadelphia. He turned me on to the minimoog synthesizer, and I'm eternally grateful for that. Love to him and all who cared for him.

I was aquainted with Kae through a mutual friend of ours Lincoln Gilmore who was also a member of the group Breakwater. During the time I had known him which was for a short period of time when I lived in Philly, he was a gentleman & wonderful spirit. My sincerest condolences to the family & friends.

It was truly an honor to be associated with a great gifted talent and to have him appreciate mine as well. I'm made "better" because of his life. Much love and comfort to the family and friends...please, try to look out for each other and keep in touch. We ARE Family!

I couldn't have ever imagined when I woke up today that I'd be writing this tonight. I heard about the death of one of the most inspirational people I've ever known while engineering a recording session this evening.
Kae was a great friend , a brilliant producer and a visionary whose vision helped to produce two hit singles for me and Jade Starling
my partner in the band Pretty Poison.
Tonight when our drummer Bobby Corea told me that Kae not only had passed, that he was buried...
