Sincerest condolences to the Friedline family. The Coulee Region was certainly blessed with the addition of the Friedline family. Many wonderful times shared with Karl and Marcia, especially the Winnipeg trips with Oktoberfest entourage. Always a pleasure to converse with Karl on many occasions and at many events. What a Superb and Remarkable couple that has been great assets to God's Country.. Leaving a lasting Legacy to all. Now reunited with love of each other.

We feel truly blessed to have known Karl, we will miss you. They will be chanting Karl, Karl, Karl in heaven.

Karl was a wonderful neighbor and surrogate grandfather for all of us kids in the Southside La Crosse neighborhood. We enjoyed many gatherings with Karl and Marcia, including Super Bowl and Oktoberfest celebrations. My family will always have fond memories of his Halloween AV displays and his singing. RIP to a beautiful couple! They are missed! Our sincere condolences to the family.

I also remember Karl at WWTI but more importantly with being associated with Oktoberfest. His singing was everyone's favorite and we will miss him. Oktoberfest will never be the same. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
