Dear Karl and Family:



I only met your dad once, but he left a very good impression on me. I will remember him as a clever and funny person with lots of neat war stories to tell. He was a real charmer who was fun to talk to.



I am so sorry for the sorrow and pain you all must feel. Know that I am thinking of you.



Caryl (a co-worker of Karl's)
