We're sorry to hear of your loss. Though we hadn't seen him for years, we loved him dearly. He was a tribute to his family and especially his Dad whom we knew and loved so much. He was truly a chip off the old block.

I miss Joe (and Paulette). One of the fond memories I have is of their wedding. My toddler son went to the bride and asked her to cut the cake. Both were and are great individuals. Joe left us too soon. Rest in peace, Joe.

I just found out from Marsha of Joe's passing. I can't express how shocked and sorry I am. I was great friends with Marsha throughout elementary school at Cabrini in Allen Park. I was over at her house more than my own. I had a secret crush on Joe, he was soo cute! I loved all the Kamalay family, they were so easy to be around. Please accept my thoughts and prayers for his loved ones.

I grew up with Joe in Allen Park and he was one of my closet friends. I will always remember Joe as an individual of great humor as well as compassion. We are all so sorry for your loss.

So sad to hear of Joe's passing. The Kamalays were such centerpieces of my timeline Detroit 1969-1978. First Marsha with the Honor's House crew, then Joe with Mandala and then Ray as a housemate playing his guitar and commuting to Athens, OH to court the lovely Lorraine. Unique stellar people. I kept in touch with Joe in California when we both lived there and heard many a tale about genetic sequencing. Great storytellers the Kamalays, chock full of Charisma. We just lost a "wizard". Much love to you all.

So sorry to hear about Joe. Many years ago, Joe took me to lunch at BW's on High St. for the sole purpose of telling me that he was in love with you.
Please take care, and my thoughts are with you and your family.

Tina I am so sorry for the loss of Joe. Our prayers are with you and your family. It is always hard to go through the loss of someone so close. The one thing that helps us get through our loss is remembering all the good times and knowing they are no longer in pain they will be happy forever now. We want to send our love to you.

?"Grieve not,
Nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me as if
I were beside you. I loved you so....
'twas Heaven here with you."
