We love you Dad, and will always respect your views and dedication to what you believed in. You taught each one of us how to find the TRUTH and for the ones that listened when you spoke, we SEE now what YOU laid before us in the Journey. We now train our sight and vision to be attuned with what you knew to be the SPECIFIC. Thank you for you untiring dedication to never look back and to move swiftly in what Dr. Lyle Sherman taught you as your Mentor and he understood it from Dr. B.J. Palmer. The Lineage will live on within us as we strive to walk in the footsteps within the Principle of true TIC.

July 2, 2001 is a day that has gone down in the history books as one of the most recognized days in the PURE UN-ADULTARATED SPECIFIC CHIROPRACTIC part of the profession. At 11:47 AM EST this man took his last breath on this earth. However, he left behind a legacy and a journey that many will follow and those that do will truly understand his commitment to the principle of Specific Upper Cervical ChiropracTIC. His dedication in reading, teaching, listening, and above all delivering the exact methodology as was taught to him by Dr. Lyle Sherman as was taught to him from the Father of ChiropracTIC, Dr. B.J. Palmer, far surpasses many of the men that has come before us. As this man was strong in his stance, never deviating course, and not allowing his focus to ever become 'fogged' by the ones who truly were not principled and dedicated. We will never know all this man knew, but as we journey into the success and pride that he left for us, we begin to see in a clearer vision each day, why his approach was so precise and his acceptance was limited due to his clarity of understanding.

Many of you called him your Mentor , many of you called him your Teacher, many of you called him your Friend, and many of you only knew of him as Dr. Kale. However I simply called him daddy. We take a moment each year at this time and date to remember this Mentor , Teacher, Friend and dad and thank him for the understanding he left to each of us. For without HIS vision, many of us would not even know the path that he showed us and we would not have reached where we are today without his commitment to us.

Honor, Respect, Integrity, Loyalty and most of all....Fellowship was what he taught many and I learned as I was around him and I truly thank him for passing these understandings to me as I grew up around my dad. We lost a significant mentor, friend, and dad on this date. But we gained the much needed sight to carry on with what he learned and move forward with the search of sickness around the world as he did. With the path that he paved, we may move in accordance within the laws of the principle to gain the learned experience of getting the sick well and maintaining the well to stay well.

Thank you DAD!

Your Son, B.J.

I had the pleasure of hearing this special man speak many times while in school at LIFE in the 80's. He was the authority on what B.J brought to this world and the undeniable proven neurological TRUTH. I still have his Chiropratic Oath framed in my office. He was THE example of PURE ChiropraTIC. - Mike Thompson, D.C.

Dr. Michael Kale's legacy lives on through you, Dr. B.J. Kale, and all those who had the privilege of learning principled ChiropracTIC from him. He would be proud of you and those few that have continued to preserve and advance BJ Palmer's work. Let us commemorate his life by remaining true to our convictions.

Today is a sad day and a great day. Today we give thought and reflect on the great life of a ChiropracTIC giant. A man who the Universe burdened with the mighty task of making sure a vital universal truth persist for the good of man. Where would the world be today had Michael Kale not followed his Innate and walked the path that Sherman and Palmer had worked so hard to build. He persisted when few others did. He kept the candle lit, kept the truth alive. How many of us and how many of our patients have benefited from this man. What a privilage it is to have good health, to have good health for our family, our children.
What would Kale be doing today if he were still with us? He'd continue on course, continue the truth, continue the TIC, continue to persist. Let us all reflect on this great leader and not let him down, and persist ourselves for the good of man. Thank You Dr. Kale for the influence you have had on my life. I will persist.
