I was very sad to hear the news of Joe's passing. He was always such a sweet man and I glad that I got to know him and Cale over the past 13 years. They are as well as their familes in my prayers.

Joe and Cale are, and always will be, FAMILY. They have always treated the Kalbach Clan like their own children. I wish Joe a restful journey and hope that Cale and family will find peace and comfort in this time of sorrow. Joe will be missed but NEVER forgotten. All my love to you ALL.

When neighbors become like family you know you have special people in your life. Joe and Cale were those people, attending family functions and events more often than even some relatives. Although generations separated us in age, Joe and Cale were friends to my wife and I, opening their home to our family whenever we were in the area visiting the old neighborhood. I remember, when living on Netherwood Road, Joe approaching me on a regular basis to ask what time I got home the previous night (or morning), always knowing the exact time to the second of course, waiting for my response and the story to follow. He was a great man and our prayers and love go out to Cale and his family at this time. He will be missed.

Words cannot begin to express my deepest sympathy to Joe's family. Joe and Cale were our neighbors while growing up in Beverly Hills. We made quite an impact on Netherwood Road, moving onto a quiet tree-lined street with 13 children ranging in age from newborn to 13 years old. Joe and Cale took it in stride and always had kind words to say and were the best neighbors to have. I remember visiting them often with my two children, especially on Halloween! My love and prayers go out to all of you
