My love and prayers go out to you and your family, Jonathan, Karen and Peter. Your father was a special man and will be missed by many. Peace to you all.

What a beautiful and sad thing to read. Tybee ,Savannah and your family lost a great human being. I will always recall his smile, kindness and great dignity -I recall thinking when i was a kid those incredible summers at Tybee, that your Dad possibly one of the smartest men on the planet.He made that impact on many, I am sure. So sorry for your family's loss- the "greats" are going and a small solace is that it was a privilege to have grown up around them. May his memory be for a blessing...

Karen, Jonathan and Peter - what a beautiful and inspiring story of your father's life. His legacy is deeply entrenched in Savannah while being carried around the world on the wings of each of you.

Beautiful eulogy! All so true. Martin was a dear friend and confidante to me and my family all through my life. Our most sincere condolences to Karen, Jonathan, Peter and families.

Mr. Karp was a sensible, intelligent, and affable man whose influence can most visibly be seen in the character and achievements of his children, Karen, Jonathan, and Peter. In our several conversations spread over many years, I was struck by his warmth, ability to call forth small details about myself and others, and knowing sense of humor. Savannah and the rest of us have lost a true gentleman.

From all of the staff of the International Studio & Curatorial Program, we send our deepest sympathy to Karen, our dedicated member of the Board of Directors, and her entire family. Though we did not ever meet Martin, we heard about what a wonderful person he was, and know he was a very loved Dad. We send our warm wishes to you all at this difficult time.

You will be missed by your family and friends. One of the most special people I have ever known and had the pleasure to work with for over 25 years. RIP Mr. Karp

My condolences to those who were close to Mr. Karp. He was a good man who was good to my family. I will always remember watching the St. Patrick's Day parade from his office as a child.
