Your uncle grew up down the street from us. He always had a twinkle in his eye and a kind word, even for me, his friend's tag along sister. I was your Aunt Marie's flower girl when she graduated from the Elms. Your Grandma Karg had May Crowning every May that the whole neighborhood would come to. You are part of the fantastic Karg Family. God bless you all and my sympathy for your loss. Mary Kraker Stief

He was one of a kind. He was my pastor at St. Henry’s. God’s grace, mercy and blessings be with him always and forever.

When Father Karg was a young priest he was assigned to St. Vincent de Paul in Cleveland. He was a breath of fresh air for so many at that parish and elementary school. I was one of those kids, as were many of my friends. He could really relate to us and treated us well. Even once I went on to Lourdes Academy, Father Karg still cared about us and our CYO activities, and how we were doing in life. I learned a lot about being a strong and caring person by his example. Thanks and hope we will...

I first met Fr. Karg when he was assigned to St. Vincent De Paul. He always took time to spend talking with us & as we got older showing us on how to be better Catholics & how to treat other people. He called us His Youth Group.
R.I.P. Fr. Karg you definitely made a differnce,

Thank you for your life long dedication to the Lord !
