Karl worked 30+ years in the telecommunications industry. He was known for his passion for cooking. Among the family favorites were Sarma, kraut, macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, and meatballs with marinara. If Karl invited you over for dinner, you left full and happy. He enjoyed boating, hosting family gatherings, motorcycles, watching movies, music, photography, sudoku, and spending time with his cherished granddaughters.
