Margie, Billy and Susan, and family, I want to send you a heartfelt message to say I am very sorry for your loss with the passing of Karl. I will always have fond memories of lots of laughter and fun times when Karl was around. Let the memories comfort you. I would like to salute Karl for his service to our country and to the veterans of foreign wars. He represented Post 2259 and the state of Arkansas with dignity and compassion for the veterans.
