Christina and I enjoyed Karl's gentle nature, ready smile, and good humor. He loved God and God's people, and was always willing to serve wherever he could be helpful.
Karl was a gentle, loving human being who really loved the Lord. He was a great prayer coordinator for Congregation Shema Yisrael. As the current prayer coordinator, I have learned alot from him on how to conduct the on-line prayer group. The prayer group sure miss him already. May Adonai comfort your family.
Love,
Mildred McKenzie
I really liked Karl. I appreciated his love for God, the Word of God, and serving God with the gifts the Lord gave him. His gentle spirit and his willingness to help will be missed. Rabbi Loren Jacobs
Karl was a faithful servant of the Lord and had humor that could warm any conversation. His presence was a blessing wherever he went and we greatly miss him.
My deepest condolences to his family.
Karl was an absolute blessing from our Adonai Yeshua. Great sense of humor combined with a genuine love for the Lord and serving Him in the lives of others. Kindness was combined with a wealth of biblical knowledge and a strong desire to deposit that in others. Karl was used by God to change lives. Love you my Brother and look forward to spending Eternity together worshipping the Lamb!
One look at Karl and you could see his joy in his countenance. He was dearly missed when he left Shema, his warm hand shake and his good humour was always a blessing. It is good to know that he resides in a heavenly place that was reserved for him. Truly a good friend and thought of often.
Love Alex & Sharon

Karl was a good friend to my late wife and me. When she had to be in a convalescence home for a few days e would come and see her and make balloon figures. God bless you Karl.
