Liebe Tannte Emmy und Familie, wir verabschieden uns von einem tollen, warmherzigen Menschen an den wir uns gerne erinnern. Sein Humor und sein verschmitztes Lächeln, so wie auf dem Bild zu sehen, werden wir nicht vergessen. Ich erinnere mich sehr gut, wie er sich immer geweigert hat, zu Fuß zu gehen, wenn er ein Auto benutzen konnte, denn schließlich wollte er die Ingenieure, die das Auto entwickelt hatten, nicht beleidigen. Und so lief er dann knurrend und stänkernd hinter den Spaziergängern her. Und hatte den Schalk im Nacken. Lieber Onkel Karl, wir werden Dich sehr vermissen.

Every time I think of Karl I remember the time of ice fishing. Beautiful warm sunny day. He laid down on a snowmobile and just pointed to the fishing markers. We ran around like crazy as he pointed. Special time I will never forget. Yahtzee games at the lake another of many fond memories. My sincerest condolences to the entire family. - Posted by: Peter Harzan () on: Nov 12, 2012

Dear Tante Emmy and Family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Karl. I have fond memories of the times I got to spend at the cottage with him and everyone. He taught me to water ski there, and made the most amazing smoked fish. :) He was a good man, and will be greatly missed. with love, Darlene & Glenn - Posted by: Darlene (Bader) Mizuno (Niece) on: Nov 10, 2012

We will remember Karl not only as a long-time employer but also as a friend; one who always took the time to chat whenever we met, be it at the shop or at Standard's annual Christmas parties. May he rest in peace. To the family, we wish to offer our deepest sympathy. Hold on to all the fond memories. They help to lighten the load and to brighten the road ahead. Sincerely and affectionately, Ed and Jocelyne Jaremowich - Posted by: Eddy and Jocelyne Jaremowich (employee/friend) on: Nov 09, 2012
