As one of the first employees of the forerunner of Dynamic Aviation, K & K Aircraft, I was touched by word of Karl’s passing. While we were all (with Karl’s brother Ken) students at EMC we worked out of a ‘retired ‘ chicken house in Parkview; among other things creating mockups such as an aircraft hydraulic system for use in aircraft mechanic schools. Another memory is his testimony that his back was healed and strengthened by agreeing that his work was devoted to the Lord. “You and I have this job to do” got the wheelbarrows of dirt moved one weekend. The irony that struck me was my recovery from pancreatitis about three months ago. God bless the heirs to his testimony.

Karl was a kind, gentle man-excelling in business and philanthropy.He was so generous-it was almost mind boggling- When he joined the MS Dinner of Champions,he apologized to my wife and I for waiting so long to be a part of the fight- My wife,Carol,a former EMC-U employee,was wheelchair bound because of the disease-
My God Bless his memory and our deepest condolences to his beautiful wife and wonderful family-

Karl was an incredible entrepreneur who built a worldwide business, respected for its reliability, safety, and truly respecting the dignity of all persons. In addition to his business success, he gave generously to those in need, offering his aviation services free to many with special emergencies, as well as his philanthropic support of many good causes. It was an absolute honor to know and work with Karl. – Allon Lefever
