Dear Ardell and family, we are so saddened to hear of Karl’s passing. We enjoyed his quick wit and positive attitude. I myself had a few years on council with Karl at Sandbridge and was honoured to have him part of the board. He always looked at all sides and thought the best of everyone. He will truly be missed.
