I am so sorry to read of Karl's death. I knew Karl as a child when we were growing up and both attending the Bucyrus Nazarene Church. I'm not sure when we lost contact, but I think it might have been sometime after we were adults. What a nice compliment to read that he enjoyed reading his Bible. I remember him as being quiet, mannerly, and kind. His friends and family are in my thoughts and prayers.
