Our family just learned that cousin Karl has passed on. We sure had some good memories of their visits.
My parents, Louie and Marie thought the best of him and his brother David.
Marie's oldest brother, Frank, was their step father.
Many sympathies, and love, to all of you.

I was saddened to hear of Karl's passing and want to express my sincere condolences to Marva and their family. I have fond memories of what I learned and the fun we had working at Karl's Garden Center during high school. Rest in peace with Jesus, Karl, and I pray for strength and comfort for Marva, Eric, and John and his family. God bless you all!

When I met Karl I knew right away what a good man he was. Everything I have learned about him since just confirms my instinct. My thoughts and prayers will always be with his family.
May the Good Lord hold you all close now and always.

We can not adequately express our sadness at the passing from this life of our dear friend Karl. But also the joy we feel that he is now in his eternal home with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Karl's guidance, support, faith, love, endurance, kindness and encouragement has meant so much to us, our family, and our ministry at Salty Earth Pictures. We would not be doing what we are doing today without Karl and Marva's help and encouragement. We pray for peace and comfort for Marva and the entire family. May the comfort that can only be found in the arms of Jesus embrace and keep you. Karl, well done good and faithful servant. Well done! Love, Steve & Beth Zambo
