Not sure what to say?

I had Mr. Karsten for PE and Sophomore math at Foothill High School.

Such a great guy! Thinking of him brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. He was my personal version of Jimmy Stewart and I loved telling him that. That carefree, warm and attentive personality was a the core of who he was. How lucky I have been to know him! Until we meet again!

Single Memorial Tree

Condolences to the Karsten family. May God continue to protect and comfort the Karsten Family, today and always.

Rest in Peace coach

I had Coach Karsten as a PE coach at American River in the early 70s. What a great guy! He always had a greeting for me, even years afterward. He was an exceptional coach and an even better human being. My condolences to all of his loved ones.

My sincere condolences to all the Karsten family. John was truly one of the finest and kindest gentleman I ever had the pleasure to have met.
