I have been thinking of you so much and made several attempts to write memories to add here but have decided to keep them in a journal. Alex, you are deeply missed. I think about our walks and talks, in the cold and grey of winter or on the phone when we contemplated the world and asked each other for advice. And with your keen memory you could always remember the details whether it was from elementary school or any time since, I could depend on you to remember the names of friends and our classmates, the circumstances and who said what! Your kind, caring and thoughtful nature was second to none. I will always think of you. And miss your wry humor. I am truly grateful for our friendship.

I´m another doc who does house calls, what I call home visits. Dr. Kalk was a trusted wound care doctor who always did well for my patients. They will no doubt miss him, and I will as well.

Dr KALK was kind funny and very smart. He took amazing care of my dad for two years and when he came to check on him , also educated us on so much along the way .. he was so patient and always had a good attitude.. you can tell he truly cared because no other provider has even come close ..and he will truly be missed..
