Greenville, TX Saturday, July 12, 2025 Sad to see Karl already off to Heaven. I pray for peace and comfort for the family. I enjoyed working with Karl at our employer. We shared a mutual love for motorsports racing, though Karl was more of an avid fan of Formula 1 and later MotoGP motorcycle racing.
