My deepest condolances to Karl's family. I spent my teenage years a lot of the time at the Hyk home. My exhusband , who remains my good friend , was his best friend back then and Karl was the best man at our wedding. I can't begin to tell of all the good times especially up in promised land and all the trips to the shore!! I will miss you. God rest .

My sincerest condolences to Karl's family. I met Karl way back in highschool and remained friends/acquaintances through the births of his children and mine. Life took us in different directions but my memories of Karl: the big hair, dark rimmed glasses, gentle voice, first ride on a motor cycle, willingness to lend a hand when needed have never been lost and never will. My thoughts are with all of you.

Mr. & Mrs. Hyk, Karen & Family:
Words just can't express how I feel for your loss! We all go back a very long time. Karl was like a big brother among the 4 of us. I have so many fond memories of when we were young that I will never forget. I would bet that my brother, Steve, was right there to meet Karl and welcome him home. May God bless all of you in your time of sorrow.

Karl, Matthew and Kristine, your father always treated each and every one of your friends as his own children, regardles of how much or how little he knew them. "The Fro" will be missed.
