So sad to hear about Karl.
It was a privilege and a great honour to have met and spent quality time with him. Never had a bad word to say about anyone. He cherished and loved his family, friends, animals and of course his mustang. My thoughts go out to Brenda and family. Rest in peace Karl, you will be sadly missed.
