Karl Kassulke

Thanks to everyone for sharing your special moments with Dad. He's always been an abundant source of powerful, positive determination. Though I miss him terribly, it brightens each day to remember how powerfully his laugh uplifted and how completely his handshake welcomed. I will carry that spirit with me always. I hope I reflect at least a small portion of what he gave me back out into the world.

I just heard of Karl's passing. My deepest sympathy and he will be missed greatly.

Kurt and Kory,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad. I didn't learn of his passing until this week. I only met your Dad once. We had a nice conversation outside the Metrodome before a Vikings game. Even from that one conversation, I could see some of the qualities others have mentioned.

Please also give my sympathy to your Mom. I worked with her for several years when I was an EMT at St. Francis Regional Medical Center and used to see her at Chaska Urgent Care before it closed.

My deepest sympathies to Karl's family. My father-Dennis Evavold- now passed away, was a friend (and accountant) of Karl's in the 1970's. My father had a meeting with him the day of his accident. We prayed for his recovery at the dinner table nightly. I was just a little girl at the time- 3rd grade. My mom, sister and I made him Christmas cookies that year and I remember sittting on his lap in his wheelchair watching football eating them together. Karl's laugh and mustache are etched in my...

I was able to meet Karl and Susan in the summer of 1979, when they opened their home and allowed me to stay with them with my school mate Tom Scipioni. I still remember how at home I felt and how they made me feel welcome. I will always remember the kind heart Karl showed everyone he came in contact with and the great spirit he displayed on a daily basis. Sue and Tom and family my deepest condolences. I will keep you in my prayers.

Rosie and family,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle and brother family member.... you are in my thoughts and prayers......

Sue,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family at this time of greatest loss. God Bless you for the loving, unconditional care you gave your wonderful husband all these years.
My prayer for you is that all of the good memories will sustain you.

I met Karl in the winter of 1982 or 1983. He spoke at a weekend retreat that I attended either with church or 4-H. While I do not remember anything about this trip I will never forget Karl and his words and strength. Over the years i would see him ocassionly when Kurt or Kory wrestled. It was always a pleasure, as he was one of my heros for his strength in the face of adversity. To all of you I want to say that I lost my #1 hero and friend one year ago when my father passed away. It is a very...

WOW!

This man had a servants heart and lived it out!

P.S. Karl, what does the new Vikes stadium look like in heaven? Are you having fun playing in it?
