Condolences
My sincere condolences go out to the whole Kage family on you loss. I want to especially express my deep sorrow to his wife Bonnie a very dear old friend of mine. My prayers are with you all.
Dear Julie and family, so sorry about the passing of your Dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincerely Kim&David Cox
To the Kage Family,
I will always remember Hermann. I recall him being very passionate about two things in his life, his family and engineering. I always looked up to him as an engineer and was intrigued by what engineers do. I am sure this had influence into my decision to also become an engineer and the passion I have for the profession. I am thankful I had the privilege to know Hermann. I pray for strength and comfort during this time for you family.
Julie, Bob and family, Sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Marsha Ganni
