Karl-
You don't know how much you will be missed. It seems I was at your house every night to discuss something meaningless; still the time was very precious to me as you were one of my best friends. I spoke to you a couple of weeks back about how much I admired your conviction and dedication as a parent. Your whole life was Kirstin! I told you that I aspired to be as loving and devoted father to my children as you were to yours. Thank you for being that role model for me. I have such great memories of our friendship, one of my best is when I called you over at 1am to fix a busted pipe in my front yard. It took us 4 hours, thanks to your lesson in Fluid Dynamics we created an out of the box solution. Lastly, I am so appreciative of all the times you watched over my family while I was away on business. I knew whenever they needed you you would come runnning. Your fight is over my friend, the next journey has just begun. Until we meet again....

I was in the band at Thompson High School with Karl. We had some wonderful memories. Karl was always nice. And like others have said he was very proud of his daughter's career. Praying for the family and friends.

I have fond memories of Karl from high school and touching base over the years. Most of that was around how proud he was of his daughter. I'm wishing Kirsten and his entire family peace during this difficult time.
