Karl was always such a nice person and it was always a joy to see him. I will miss seeing him drive up the road towards his house because he would always throw his hand up and wave. He will be missed by many.

Karl was a great guy. My husband and him have been friends for many years. We spent alot of time together. Had many dinners at the China Buffet together, one of Karl's favorite places to eat. He was always up for a conversation no matter the time or subject. He also always gave his opinion unfiltered lol. He was one of a kind that's for sure. He will be dearly missed by all that knew him.
Karl thank you for always being such a great friend and being there when people called upon you for help no matter what u was there .RIP you will be missed
Here is your last TO GO coffee. ☕ Miss you already Sir. Fly high amongst the stars you loved so much.
We will miss Karl!! He was one of the good guys. He was a good friend to my brother, Donald Mackey. They loved to build cars & race them at the local track & out at the Loop. After Donald passed away in '09 Karl continued to call us & send birthday & Christmas cards. He never forgot us. Our deepest condolences to the family. Karl will live forever in our hearts.
