Karl F. Abel

We would like to give our condolences to Abel family.

Karl touched our lives in many ways. Our Father Narciso Pacheco (Cecil) who passed away several years ago worked for the Abel brothers for 50 years. We only have fond memories of Karl. We were young children growing up on a ranch on 51st ave between Camelback and Indian school road. It was around 1953. We remember a kind hearted man with a friendly smile, and a big heart. He would stop by to leave his son Johnny with us to play...

I CAN HONESTLY SAY KARL WAS A TRUE
FRIEND AND A WONDERFUL, AND HONORABLE HUMAN BEING. HE WAS A PERSON, WHO WOULD SHAKE YOUR HAND AND YOU COULD TAKE IT TO THE BANK. THERE WERE FEW PEOPLE LIKE KARL ABEL,TWO OTHERS WERE BOB STUMP AND MY FATHER RALPH A WATKINS
MY WHOLE FAMILY IS WITH US IN HAWAII TO CELEBRATE MY 81ST BIRTHDAY ON THE 29TH. ALL OUR LOVE TO THE FAMILY. IF THERE WAS ANY WAY POSSIBLE, I WOULD BE AT THE SERVICE...RALPH A WATKINS JR

Steve and I both have to add to the chorus that your dad was the most wonderful person and we truly not only admired and highly respected him, but we love him and your mom. They made a huge impact on me by the way I saw how they treated my grandparents, Hettie and Curtis Clark, even after Grandad retired from Abel Brothers; and then again when they treated me so kindly during and after my young pregnancy when many, many people, even from my own church, turned away. They were always so sweet...
