Karl E. Ticho

Karel and I were classmates in our native town of Brno, Czechoslovakia through the four years of elementary school and some 3 permitted in pre-Hitler years in our remarkable high school. From his excellent study achievements and his spirited personality it was obvious that Karel would grow into a much more than average adult.
Many stormy decades later, when he was a student at Innsbruck he visited me in New York and we remembered the "good old days".

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My father, Dr Rudolph Burger-Zellinger, was a dentist in the same medical building in Oak Lawn, the beautiful Garden Terrace at 87th and Cicero. When I was 2, I started to develop a crossed eye which became severe quickly. My father connected me with Dr Ticho who fixed my crossed eye at Christ Hospital when I was 5 years old(1977). I remember him coming in to check me when I woke up from surgery and helping to calm me down when I woke up freaking out because I had an eye patch on my eye....

Dear Barry and Gabi and all the family,
What an amazing life your father led. When your parents moved to Sedgebrook in Lincolnshire a few years ago I connected with them as I gave talks at Sedgebrook. I recognized their name and we quickly realized I had known the older sons. I really enjoyed talking with your parents each time I was there; they were so attentive to one another and so proud of all of you. I am sure you have so many wonderful memories to hold close in this sad time...

One of the kindest and most decent men I have ever known. May he rest in eternal peace.
