The many years that I was a part of the Holzhacker family leaves me with fond memories of your father and grandfather. I remember how much he was enjoying listening to your playing at the last Germanfest as we sat there in the tent on Germanfest grounds.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Karl's role as Grampa carried far beyond his own family, because he enhanced the lives of so many! We will always remember his generosity, his hearty laugh, and his love of a good story! For years, he and Norma were fixtures at an assortment of the grandkids' athletic events. What a special family. We will forever carry memories of Karl, and Norma, in our hearts. To Karl's children and grandchildren, "Thank you for sharing."

Mr. Hacker was a wonderful man with a kind heart and wonderful spirit. Through my childhood he was Santa at the HolzHacker Buam Christmas parties and created years of memories. In the summer, we visited the Hacker summer cottage and celebrated German American Days. Mr. Hacker was a good friend to the Jack Braun family and will always be remembered. God Bless you Mr. Hacker. Deepest sympathies to the family.

Dear Hacker Family,
Your Dad(Granpa) will always be remembered dearly for taking me under his wing when I lost my father at 15. I learned many things from Karl, that I have used throughout my entire life.
