The USS CALIENTE and myself Tom Rawlinson miss Karl and the PIPELINE. GOD BLESS

Dear Family of Karl, Over the years, Karl and I met only through writing, in a joint love of our extended mutual SEITZ family. I will dearly miss the occasional meetings.

God bless Karl and his family. He kept the crew of the USS CALIENTE going with a great newsletter The Pipeline. I was honored to talk with him at our ship’s reunions.

Pat and Lee and Family,
Karl leaves a greater legacy than he even knew would ever happen. There are many of us who benefited from his knowledge and research of our Seitz family and he leaves us richer for his help. Thank You Karl, and Thank You to the family for sharing him with us.

The Seitz Family: I would never have been able to navigate my Seitz connection [genealogy] without all of Karl's knowledge. He leaves a legacy of which we can continue to share. My very sincerest condolences to your family and Karl's many friends. Rachel Keller

Pat, I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Karl. He was a kind and gracious man. I will pray for peace for you and your family during this time. Sincerely, Eddie Stewart
