Kal was my dear cousin and the son of my 1st cousin Lana. He was the 2nd Grandson of Nathanial James Le Blanc whom was the 1st son of Eugene L. “Gene” Le Blanc & Marie Louise Durocher Le Blanc.
Kal was a wonderful boy and man that used his well versed mind to take on the challenges and make them work! An IT guru that was cherished every project he encountered.
He was a great husband and awesome father to Bridgette. A father and daughter’s relationship is always one that lasts forever.
Blessings to his spirit and may his transition be swift up to Heaven.
Save me a space at the Family Table!
I miss you bro bro
love, your little sister Gretchie
Gretchen, I’m very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Regards, Derrick Miller
I miss you and our adventures together and our various competitions. Love, your big bro.
Laura, Gretchen, Bridgette, Cameron, Lana and Jim,
Please accept my deepest condolences to all of you and your families.
Kal and I met many years ago at Boeing. Immediately, we hooked up into a special friendship. There is not a topic of life (technical, nontechnical, fiction, nonfiction, etc.) that we have not discussed. Kal is super knowledgeable, creative and humble. Kal visited me in Southern Maryland (SoMD). We had the best time working (aka I was only his helper 😉 and then launching Kal’s newest technology product from his new Boost Research Corporation and exploring Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC areas. We played so many great games of Pickleball (Pball). Kal played very well and nicely touched a lot of SoMD Pball players’ hearts. Kal was like a younger ‘Brother’ to me…
Life and Health are so unpredictable!
Kal, my brother, I truly miss you, may you rest in peace and fly away with the angels.
Kal, you had my back and I had yours. I’m grateful for our neighborly friendship. Fly free. Be blessed.
Kal and I met when we both joined Boeing Flight Test. We were recruited to support the 787 and 747-8 programs. We were called Technical Aide Specialist. Each of us was assigned a different airplane to support. Throughout the 787 and 747-8 programs Kal and I had shared many moments of laughter, life hiccups, great foods, hikes and even vacation together. There was never a dull moment when we hanged out. Kal was very fond of his dad and always speak about him. He loved his family in his own ways. I always feel we are more than just co-workers. Kal introduced me to his daughter, Bridgette, and even invited me to stay at Cameron’s house when we attended the Ellensburg’s rodeo show. He was full of life and always energetic. I will always remember, Kal, for his unquenchable curiosity and his creative imagination. Missed you, man.
R.I.P, Kalcapone!
