I still think of him and Barb as well as Renita Price who has since passed and all the other physicians I worked with at Brownsboro Pediatrics. We were a family taking care of families.

I spent a WONDERFUL summer at Dr. Kahle's home with his lovely wife and my dear friend, Nathan. They always made me feel welcome in thier home and at the table. What an example they set. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Nathan-along with the rest of the family.

I still sit in his chair at work. I think of anecdotes he said all the time. I remember, fondly, the scrapbook I made for him upon his retirement with pictures from around the office and kind words the kids and parents wrote for him. I miss him every day. More so, now, that he is truly gone. Will remember him always...Sonja Kuebler
