To the Albus family,
My name is Gregg Tomes and I was a good friend of Karl's. He was a friend of my father's as well. My father did alot of work on the bike I called the purple monster! Karl was and still is family to me. I don't have any words to express your loss. Katie he talked about you all the time. He loved you very much. I played cards with Karl alot and the inside joke between us was he would call me son and I would call him "pop"! Karl I'm going to miss you man. Thank you for everything! God has you now! You knew what the true meaning of Semper Fidelis is! Love you "Pop"
Semper Fi Brother.

To the Parents and Daughter of Karl,
I am very sorry for your loss and I will always remember Karl for his smile and his kind manner.
You know if we all had an extra smile and kind manner like Karl always did...the world would be a much better place. And maybe that is the message that Karl lived for his friends and I am sure for his family.
He will always have a special place in my heart. I will miss him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Words cannot express the sorrow we are feeling for you right now.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together.

I met Karl a short while ago at the Sportsman playing Texas Holdem. What a great guy he was to be around. A true southern gentlemen who will be missed by all. I will miss hearing him say "WOW" as the flop hit the table. He finally got his Pocket Aces and moved ALL IN.
The labors of his life have ended and he is now in God's Care. I know upon arriving in Heaven his first words were "WOW.
God'S Speed my Friend.

Erich and Christel, words cannot express the sorrow we are feeling for you right now. Our prayers and thoughts are with you both. We had been running into Karl the last few months at various places, and always enjoyed chatting with him. He always had a smile on his face, and a hug for us. He would always introduce us to his friends, and never failed to let us know how the both of you were doing. God Bless you both, and we love you very much. We will miss Karl.

Our sincerest condolences to the Albus family.
We will miss Karl so much. In the short time that we were fortunate to know Karl, he became our friend.
We enjoyed having him over for dinner and playing cards. We would watch football, Nascar and BBQ on our deck. Karl was every bite a southern gentleman. His smile and his laugh would always light up the room.
You enriched our lives Karl and I thank God we got to know you for the short time we did.

Words can't express the sorrow we feel losing Karl at this time. Always quick with the wit and quicker still with a smile is how I will remember Karl. May God grant strength to the family and friends to help them through this loss. This is the season when God gave a son who would redeem us our sins, and He is taking one of His own back into His fold. I'm glad I will be able to say "I knew Karl when ...." Miss ya, Karl
