I didn't really know Lars, just met him once, but I judge people on results too. Seeing the son that he raised tells me that he was a good father and a good man. I believe and pray he has earned his eternal peace and is with his family now.

Think of Lars and Karen often,
when we last spoke to them they talked about how much they enjoyed the Winter weather in Florida. They were a great couple and will be missed.
