My Dear Hyacinth: Nothing could have prepared you for the loss of Karl. The greatest battle that mankind will ever engage in is the fight against mortality. All is not lost. Karl could have pondered the words at Job 14:14-15. Yes, when the Restorer of Life calls our loved ones will answer and enjoy life everlasting as Jesus promised. (Luke 23:43). We look forward to that grand reunion. May your spirituality continue to sustain you. All my love,Grace

To the family of Karl: Karl will surely be missed here at the Univ of MD. He would come in the office and we would always discuss family, grand children, his travel home and my family vacations. He was a happy and wonderful person to always converse with. You have my deepest and sincere sympathy.

We've been friends for over four decades, and even though you lived in the USA you made sure you stayed in touch with me; calling me each time you visited Jamaica. I'll miss our long phone conversations, our laughter, our parties. You've crossed over to a new dimension, but you've lived a great life...I shall miss you my friend

the merritone family regrets the crossing of our brother karl fray-it was an honor knowing this quiet giant of a man who share the love for music and the joy of seeing folks have a great time-karl always checks in with merritone as soon as he lands in jamaica and also whenever merritone plays in the dc maryland--cheers my brother from all of us-the merritone family
