Karl loved fishing, especially with his friends and family. We have may fond memories fishing with him in the lakes and rivers of Colorado. His love for fishing drives Karl’s final wish – to take a kid fishing. This can be accomplished in a couple of ways: Buy a fishing pole, give it to a kid and take them fishing.
