Karl always kept his lawn meticulously manicured. We always knew summer had officially arrived when Karl put on those one of a kind stars and stripes jogging shorts and mowed his lawn in the heat of the day. He was a great neighbor.

Anne and family, my condolenses in this time of sorrow. I can remember class gatherings back in our high school days at your house when your Mom & Dad always welcomed us with open arms. May you find peace in this difficult time, knowing that the King is now in a better place.
Mrs. Sheila, Karlie and Anne, please accept my sincere condolences on Mr. Karl's death. I have very fond memories of him, and he was truly an icon and ambassador for the City of Eunice.

Know our prayers are with you, Aunt Sheila, Anne & Karlie. The Rene' Munro DeRouen family (Love, Cindy, Rene', Cameron & Stuart DeRouen)
The thing I will remember most about Karl is the way he broadcasted those football games. He brought them to life right in your living room over the radio. No one has ever come close to his style. My prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

As an intern at KEUN/KJJB, I came to know Karl about eleven years ago. He was the nicest boss I have ever worked for. He let me work hard, and did a lot for my career that folloerd the internship. Will never forget his voice, and his face as he tried to pronounce my name. Think about Karl-and Eunice-every day, it was such a good time for me, and I am glad I came to know him. Feel so sorry for the ones that are left behind.
I spent a short time at KJJB/KEUN as one of the many sports announcers and newsmen in Eunice... from Coffee Talk, to the old KEUN remote van, to high school baseball games, there are so many memories from my short time at KJJB... and no memory is complete without remember Karl... He truly was one of a kind... a very good man with a very big heart. RIP
