Karl was a blessed man and so were all of us who knew him. My strongest memory of Karl is him singing IF I WERE A RICH MAN in one of the shows my mom directed. He loved his family so much. All my love to you.

Joyce, Craig, Sue and family: How sad to hear of Karl's passing. We were neighbors in Jennings when Joyce and Karl moved into Grandma's house and our backyards shared a fence. Mom and Dad were very fond of both of you. Karl and I shared many stories "over the back fence" and occasional back yard cookouts. Karl was an exceptionally nice person. Cling to the memories. My sincere sympathy for your loss.

Sorry I can not be there this evening. I will never forget sharing time with Karl and marching with him in the Patrol. Time marches on for each one of us, but at least I had the chance to march with him.
