I met Kal after he published a job posting in the Daily Californian looking for someone to assist him with daily tasks. At the time, I worked as a Community Service Officer at the UC Berkeley Police Department. I was an undergrad student and was trying to find additional employment to support myself and my family.
I will never forget my first meeting with him. He was so open and shared his "life story." In particular, he relayed the health issues he was facing and, hence, why he needed an assistant.
It is impossible to fully capture the indelible impact Kal made in my life. In particular, I will always cherish the friendship we developed. And I always took pride in the fact that he would solicit my advice and perspectives from time-to-time.
Kal: I am going to miss you my friend.
Candice, Triana, and Annalise: My sincerest condolences on your loss.
