All my thoughts are with Jack and Jim and Aunt Lucille. Karl was a great guy and I know he will be missed. Some of my best childhood memories are of visiting the family in East Liverpool. Karl really treated us kids well and made us feel at home. Weather has prevented me from making the trip but I will be thinking of you all on Thursday.
Dear Jack,
Tom had shared with me today that your father had passed away. I just wanted to let you know how sorry we were to hear of your families loss. I’m sure if your Dad is anything like you, he was a great guy.
Your in my families thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,
Barb and Harry Fischer
Dear Lucille, Jack and Jim,
So sorry to get Jack’s message Monday of Karl’s passing. We will all miss his smile, laughter and great stories. Heaven sure is getting a treat this year with his arrival. Wish we could be there to deliver hugs in person. Know that our prayers and love are with you.
God bless you Uncle Karl. Lauren, Alex and Karen truly enjoyed spending time with you on our way east. They both thought you sounded just like Granpa Pete. I know you were one of Dad’s favorite people and it was easy to see why. Aunt Lucille we will keep you in our prayers.

Matt Deshler

We have lost a great Father, a great Husband to Jack and Jim’s Mom, a great American who fought in battle for this country and other nations freedom and a great man. And many others have lost a dear friend.
Karl is in heaven now with David and my Ryan. This is not only the time for us to grieve his death but itâÄôs our time to celebrate his life. LetâÄôs all think back and remember how Karl Deshler touched our lives. How he made us laugh and how truly good Karl was as a person. This is not only the moment for us to shed our tears but we should all be thankful that we were given the chance to have known a man named Karl.
My Prayers are with you this week and always…
