When we think of your family in the 80's we remember Halloween gatherings with our kiddies in costumes & visiting Castle Attendorn together. That was brought about by Karl's desire to locate & reach out to long forgotten family. Then there were Fasching parades with more kiddy costumes & of course sharing the best chocolate Amaretto mousse pie together. You will all be in our thoughts & prayers. We just wish we could make your pain & despair easier as you move forward without Karl in your life. All oour love- Jim & Beth JIM & BETH DADAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2011 I met Karl about a month ago, my business is estate sales and he helped us with a stamp collection in an estate sale. He was a very honest man and knew a lot about stamps. I was looking forward to working with him in the future. He talked a lot about his family. Please accept my condolences. Debra Kitchens All Treasures Estate Sales DEBRA KITCHENS, NOVEMBER 19, 2011 My prayers and thoughts are with each of you. SHARON JORDAN, NOVEMBER 19, 2011 Carl was a classmate of mine at Bryan Adams. I remember Carl as very nice person who befriended me during turbulent times. I am sorry for his family and their loss AARON EMERSON HAYES, NOVEMBER 19, 2011 Karl and I had just reconnected on the Bryan Adams forum. I had not known or seen him in almost 40 years but I do recall things that most of the people on the BA board do not. I was in school with Karl and Donnie at St. Pius X where our families were very close. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Flusche at church on Sunday,
and scouts and sports and all the church community activities associated with "parish life". He was there in every aspect which is why I will miss him like family though we seldom saw each other. PAUL JOYNER KORKAMES, NOVEMBER 19, 2011 I didn't know Karl, but did know his parents and his brothers at Parkland. I probably met Karl there a time or two, but Donnie and Donald and Jonnie were there most. I think of Jonnie a lot, and wish I could talk to her. I do have the Flusche family in my prayers. JUNE GIBSON, NOVEMBER 18, 2011 Even though we hadn't seen eachother for many years, I still felt close to Karl. He was a wonderful guy who put his heart into what he did. He, Cindy, and Lori were the best neighbors anyone could have. My heart goes out to you all. love, David DAVID PAUL SINGER, NOVEMBER 18, 2011 Family Owned Since 1945 Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow is the premier provider of funeral services in North Texas, with seven convenient locations and three beautiful memorial parks.
