I'm sad that I will not be in Florida in time to make the funeral. I felt Uncle Karl's love in our phone calls, and I know he loved his kids, daughters-in-law, grandkids and great grands. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends, former coworkers and all who knew him and loved him. Love, Cousin Laura
