Karl treated me so good when he was Transportation Sec. in DC. At the same time I was an Intern for a year with Strom Thurmond in DC. Karl gave me NBA tickets, offered to take me with he and Susan on a trip for the US Gov't to help with the kids. If I felt homesick, I could go to his office and be at home! He was a awesome person and public servant. I am very proud to call him a true friend.

Susan, I am so sorry for your loss and just found out today of his passing. I had no idea that Karl was that ill.
I only knew y'all for about 5 years but I felt very close to y'all.
American legion post #6 will not be the same without Karl.
I am proud to have known him and called him my friend.

Susan and Family,
I was so very sorry to learn of Karl's passing. I grew up in Estill and admired him for his many successes in life. Also appreciated his kindness to my uncle, Robert Gifford.
Remember a lovely dinner party that you and Karl attended at Linda Gillespie's home while four of us from Estill High Classes of '62 and '63 were visiting.
My thoughts are with you and your family.

Susan and Family,
I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am to learn of Karl's passing. My greatest regret is not knowing of his failing health. Although I took the time in years gone by to say thank you, I would certainly like to have spent some time with him to one again thank him for all the support he gave me when I served on the S.C. Highway Commission. I represented the 9th Judicial Circuit.
