A special thank you for the care he received from Dr. Weiner at the Cancer Treatment Center as well as the wonderful nurses there on the 3rd floor at St. Peter’s Hospital who cared for Karl in the last few years of his life. Thanks also go out to the guys at R&K Trucking. You kept him going the last few months. He would come home from the shop laughing about something he had pulled on Jimmy or Rich, teasing Kevin for wearing his sunglasses on the back of his hat or the many stories he told me about the guys there, but you know who you are. Thanks again guys.
