I have lived across the street from Karl for the last 12 years, and it has been my pleasure to know such a nice man. He was always helpful, kind, and just a pleasant human being. Thank you for all of your "hello's", "how are you's", "offerings of help", and "invites for my daughter to play with your granddaughter". God bless you and your family.

Dear Karl,
I will miss having to come to your house to fix your computer over and over again . I will miss sitting in your sun room and having a beer or two and sometimes three and talking about your lifes experiences and I mine.I will miss having to fix the TV so you can hear it through your stereo. I will miss You, Bill, Pop's and I going to make beer and then going out and having dinner. I will miss your 4th of July parties. I will miss who has bragging rights you with your Jets and me with My Giants. I will miss you bringing leftover dinners to my house a couple of times a week and having you stay a liitle bit to just talk about things.I could go on and on about what I miss about you but what I really miss the most is just YOU!

Dear Helen and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Karl. The miles between us prevent us from being there for you, but they do not diminish our sense of loss or sadness. We have such happy memories of Karl and Fourth of July, lobsters and breakfast the next morning. Always the perfect host! What a great neighbor and friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. May God Bless all of you.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Biester Family. I have been blessed to know Mr. B most of my live (since the age of 9). You couldn't ask for a better backyard neighbor and friend. Always a smile on his face. So many memories.... Zot candy and camping :) Always a fun time. You will truly be missed. Much Love, Joanne Mullen Fox and Family

Whenever I think of the perfect neighbor, I think of Mr. B. Always a ready smile and warm hello. Whether I was a little kid or a middle aged mom, he always made me feel like there was no one he'd rather see at that moment than me. Of course I know he made everyone feel that way.
I will forever hear his happy voice and infectious laugh. And I'll never eat cherry stones on the grill without thinking of him. We're all going to miss him. My family and I extend our deepest condolences.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Susan
