Very sorry to hear of Karl's passing. He was a very kind man who will be truly missed. Karl was a good friend of my Dad, Werner Hotz, for many years and has been very kind to my Mom also after his passing with visits and phone calls. She enjoyed her conversations with Karl and will miss him very much. Sending our deepest sympathies to your family, from myself, my husband and my Mom.
