So sorry to hear about the passing of Karl. Katheleen my deepest condolences to you. Karl was an amazing man. Way to young . will not forget al lthe fun times i had working with him. Start of my shift i would always say to him come here Karl i need to fix up your collar . You didn't starch it today and he would say talk to my wife about this one. He would always laugh. Katheleen hold on to those memories close to your heart. These memories can never be taken away from you . When you feel a gemtle breeze sweep by you think of it as Karl passing by you leting you know that he is ok. Ones who pass on before us are in a much better place than we are. They go before us to prepare a place for us. They will never be forgoten and always in out hearts.

So sorry to hear of Karl’s passing. I grew up with Karl in Thunder Bay and attended elementary school and high school with him … we all used to call him Boomer. The thing about Boomer was his cheeky sense of humour … he always entertained us with a goofy Neil Young impression or a hilarious meandering story over a few Molson Goldens or in recent years, a few Coors Lite. After high school, I lost contact with him for several years, but that was another thing about Boomer....he was the type of guy that even if we hadn't spoke to one another for a long time, we would just pick up exactly where we left off, like no time had passed at all. Katie and I extend our heartfelt condolences to Kathleen and Karl’s family and friends. Boomer was a kind and gentle soul … and a life-long friend and I will miss him dearly …

You will be missed my friend, My deepest sympathies to the family. He was an inspiration to my art in more ways than he would know. He made things possible for me and I will never forget him for the confidence in me. A true inspiration.

Another good one is taken away far too soon. Boomer was an integral part of our "Reunion Gang" and it just won't be the same without him. I hope he and Boo Boo are sharing stories again up there. And if Boomer forgets any of the details Boo will surely help him out. My heart goes out to you, Kathleen, and the whole family. Love Heather

"Hi Karl! Hey Rob, what'll you have?" Only one of numerous sentences to come out of Karl's mouth that I will truly miss. Your genuine interest in whatever we talked about spoke volumes of how large and real your personality undoubtedly was. Today I raise a glass to you my friend. Hang loose! Laura and I send our sincerest condolences to your family.

This is from Big Johnny; I know that this has been a loss in all of our lives. Karl was a person who could relate and make his point,even if you didn't agree (but somehow you would end up agreeing,especially,when it came to me and my Maple Leafs). Sometimes we would just laugh for hours on the phone about things that really wouldn't mean anything to most.He loved his life and his total partner "Kathleen" This is a time when we really have to think, that heaven is about to get an angel that wants to be in charge and will try to organize everything, that's just Karl. Today I lost not just not a brother, I lost a real,true,forever lasting friend. GOOD-BYE MY BEST FRIEND*****

Like many others, I will always remember Karl for his kindness and genuine spirit. His quirky sense of humour occasionally caught me off guard, but I managed to hold my own and crack him up from time to time too. So I say goodbye to this good man with fond memories and a sadness for the hole he leaves behind.

Kathleen - The picture of Boo and Karl here made me cry and laugh thinking of the two of them causing havoc up in Heaven together again! What a pair of amazing guys - we were so lucky. No one else can comprehend the sadness in your broken heart - know the closeness and love you shared - or understand the empty feeling left behind. Take the time to laugh, cry or whatever emotion comes over you. There is no rule book on how to grieve the loss of your soul mate - we have to write our own. Know that I am here for you any time. Love and hugs to yours and Karl's family. xo Kathy

All my memories of Karl (aka Boomer) involve his humour. He had lots of jokes and most of them were funny. More importantly, he had us laughing at and with ourselves. That is the part that I treasure the most. Boomer taught us about resilience over the past years. There is no doubt that the love he shared with Kathleen gave him strength, courage and purpose. He knew and appreciated that fact. Boomer is part of a core group of friends that was established in high school. In spite of the fact that our group is spread across the country, we instantly connect when we are lucky enough to spend time with each other. Boomer was, and will continue to be, core to our bond.

Karl was one of the world's truly nice guys, seeing only the good side of every thing and every one.He was ready to laugh at anything, and that made the rest of us ready to laugh as well. A true friend in every sense of the word, and a soul that makes the world poorer with his departure. We love him deeply and will miss him profoundly, but that will pale compared to what his loss will mean to Kathleen, who cared for him so lovingly, and who had his heart-felt love in return. His memory will be treasured in each and every one of us.

Karl was an amazing guy. He was always quick to laugh and quicker to lend a hand. If you needed something, you went to Karl and it was done. Of all his many traits, his sense of humour was a joy to behold. He could ask an off-beat question, fire off a witty response or announce he could play tennis well enough to defeat a friend's wife, who happened to be a really good player. After losing badly, Karl remarked: "The sun was in my eyes." If I close mine, I can see him dancing to a song from Jesus Christ Superstar. Arms pumping, feet moving. He made us laugh; he was so incredibly good at it.
