My sincere sympathies and condolances to you in your loss. Having worked with John for many years, I know the world is a better place because of his life long commitment and passion to health and safety on and off the job. While we say farewell to an icon in the industry, be comforted in the knowledge of the positive influence he has made to those who had the priveledge of knowing him.

Sincere regards,

To the entire Kalf Family,

Our heart felt sympathies and condolances to you all with your huge loss. I will always remember the good times we had on the farm with the families, your Dad and his safety presentations to us all, helping with meat cutting, and in the early days him with his pipe and big smile and chuckles. You are all in our thought and prayers during this difficult time. Love you all.
