Goodbye Karl. You were a good and Godly man that influenced my life more than you know. All our lives will be diminished with you gone.

Thanks grandma and grandpa for the two newest additions to the family. We know you each had something to do with it! Continue to watch and pray over us in heaven.

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. I know that my father is going to miss him tremendously as they had formed a support system between them. Karl was so good to my Dad when my Mom died at Christmastime. God indeed puts people in our lives when we need them. I hope that you find those you need to help console you.
Sincerely, Janice Banks

Karl was the perfect big brother. We had the usual fights as kids until we were in our teens and worked in Dad's meat business. Everyone thought we were twins even though we were four years apart. They could not believe we were brother and sister and had so much fun together while working. I always knew he loved me and would be im my corner. He encouraged me to go to college and insisted I pledge a sorority, offering to send me some of his paycheck if I would. I will be eternally greatful to have had him in my life and I contribute most of my professional successes to the fact that he was always in the wings, cheering me on. I loved all the nicknames he gave me. The last time we spoke was right before he left us. He called and ended the conversation with, "Good-bye, 'Baby Sisser,' I love you."

Karl and Rosie Wolff were very special friends of my mom and dad's. They were terrific card partners with the gals against the guys. Mom passed away in December and Karl and Dad (Bill Grambley) soon became a support system for each other. I did not learn of Karl's death until today (6/10) and am deeply saddened. He and 'Rosie' were awesome people. Dad is in Wisconsin and had no knowledge of Karl's passing. On behalf of my family (William Grambley) I offer my sincere condolences.

Thanks to all of you that attended my grandfather's funeral. Your support and thoughtfull words were priceless to us all. It is amazing on how many lives he has touched. I know now that he is truly happy in heaven with my grandma watching over all of us. Thanks again for all of your kind words and prayers.

The death of my Grandfather was a great loss. I can speak for all the grandchildern, he was the best grandfather that ever lived. He was so funny and loved to tease us all. Each one of us grandkids have a special bond with him. He took each one of us grandkids under his wings to teach us how to fish. We loved to be his fishing partner. We were for sure to catch a fish with him. I remember how he laughed so hard coming home from work when (I four yrs old),I was over for supper and I was so upset my mother and grandmother would not give me sour cream for supper (and that's all I wanted!) As he walked in the door I was sadden and said "Grandpa! Grandpa! They won't give me no FOOD!" Still to this day he would tell me that and laugh. He said he couldn't stop laughing at me that day. I love him very much and will miss his funny ways. I will miss his smile, laugh and his crazy concoctions of V-8 juice or his pickeled eggs, and gosh knows whatelse he came up with. I could keep on saying how wonderful this man was, but I would be sitting here all night. I am just happy he is with my special grandmother who I miss very much up in heaven. And I can picture her right now saying "Karl!" (and rolling her eyes. They loved eachother so much.) At least my grandfather is no longer alone.
His best granddaughter....Juli :)

I have known Karl & Rosemary Since 1976, and have developed a great relationship with both Karl & Rosemary. Today I offer my tears and heavy heart to all the family for your loss. I want you to know my tears of sadness are now tears of joy, as I know that Karl will join his beloved wife and saint. I want you to know that Rosemary is one of my modern day SAINTS, who I pray to, for her intercession to the Lord. Now I can honestly add Karl to my litney of Saints. I will truly miss celebrating the Eucharist with Karl. I would give him the body of Christ and he would always respond to me, saying "Bless you too Gabby" I will truly miss this relationship with him. He was truly a living Saint and lived the Gospel to the fullest. God Bless the family during your time of Grieving. Deacon Richard (Gabby)

"Rosebud" Lead you will be missed by many family and friends, especially Margery and I. We were so very thankful that we were reconnected after over 40 years of separation via our AF careers. I know you are in your beloved "Rosie's" arms. Lancer Lead will miss our phone conversations.
