Outpouring of compassion evokes tears for KFC manager's wife


YOUNGSTOWN — Each outpouring of compassion shown for the KFC manager paralyzed after being robbed and shot makes his wife cry.

Lisa Kaluza said she’s overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of KFC on South Avenue and everyone else who has come forward to help. “People call me day and night and I want to say, ‘Thank you!’”

Her 42-year-old husband Joe was on his way to make a bank deposit for KFC on March 24 when he became the victim of a crash staged to set him up for robbery. He remains on a ventilator at a Cleveland hospital, paralyzed from the neck down.
