Dear Irene and Jim, My name is Yoko, and was an AFS exchange student to West Geauga in 1978-79 when your mother Mrs.Karfes was the district representative, she took care of me so well. First, please accept my sincere condolences for your father, who had let me know the sad news of your mother years ago. I cannot thank enough for the support your mother game me during my year in the US. Your parents did visit me afterwards in Japan, but unfortunately, I was very ill then, so they had to...

I can't think of a single time when having any interaction with Dr. Karfes that he was not only friendly, courteous, respectful and just a joy to be around. So glad to have known him and his lovely wife whenever either of them came to SVCH Radiology Dept. Our lives are better having known them.

Dr. Karfes was a very special person to everyone here at the Greater Cleveland Dental Society! He will be greatly missed!

Dr. Karfes was a treasure and an inspiration. His contribution to the dental community and his fortunate patients are unmatched. RIP Dr. Karfes. Thank you for everything.
