Continue to cherish your many fond memories of Karl. Remember God is a refuge and stronghold so we can trust in him (Psalm 91:10) at this difficult time.

Dear Karl,

have a good journey to where you go to meet Helen again. And to amuse all with your jokes.

You will not be forgotten here.

Farewell Karl, your life was well-lived. All of us at Saga Klubben will miss you and also your Takk for Maten talks. I was always in admiration of your social and political insight into the news of the day...I think you must have been one of the smartest guys I ever met.
