Your children miss you desperately. Needing you around them. Your teasing and harassment, your humor and spirit. All the things you are, that were given freely and taken as everyday life is wanted and needed by them. Rest well my friend and visit our children in their dreams. Walk with them through their journey of life and whisper your encouragement and love to them.

Karl and I were friends in high school but we drifted apart after that and I lost track of him. I am very saddened to hear of his passing. He was a good friend and a good man. I wish I would have kept up with him through the years. But I am thankful to have known him.

I ran with Karl for several years in the 70's with Marvin and Alan riding motorcycles,camping, hanging out for days on end and enjoying life. He was a terrific guy and a lot of fun to be with. Those were great times and I will not forget what Karl meant to me back then.

You wonderful man. I can't express how much you will be missed and how loved you are. You will always be in my heart. My love to you and all those who have loved and cared for you. The celebration is now in Heaven with all those that you have missed for so long. I will hold you children up for you and keep them safe. My love always.
