Dear Consuelo,Lesa,Rod,Lynn,Dawn,Kevin and Kristen.
I was shocked and saddened by the news of my Uncle Karl. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to his service. I was out of state. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Even though I am so sad at the thought of not seeing him again, I can't help thinking that my dad, his brother, gets to be with him again. I can picture them now, Uncle Karl, my dad Rod, Denise and Aunt Lesa drinking a gansett and telling Irish jokes. It brings me a small amount of comfort to know they are together again.

Consuelo,
I was very sad to hear that Karl has passed. When I first joined USPS, Karl was very kind to me and always provided me with sound mentorship based on his broad and deep knowledge and the desire to see the next generation of USPS leadership succeed. My best wishes go to you and your family and I look forward to seeing you again in the future.
