| Karl Leppien (center) visits Ed and Wanda at Cedar Bluff -- 2008 |
Today we bid farewell to our friend, Karl Leppien, who died at the age of 85 last week. Family and friends will gather in the Phoenix area for a memorial service to honor his life and remember him.
Ever since we began travel to the southwest for winter vacations or business meetings, we would stop in for a visit with the Leppiens and their family. Transplanted to Arizona as their children moved to the southwest, Karl and his wife Helen kept their Midwestern Michigan roots alive through their interest in "back home."
Karl was an optimist. A man of family and faith, he built an accounting firm with multiple offices in Michigan. I came to know him through my husband's work. We enjoyed dinners and golf and travel together; it was always fun to be with Karl and Helen. The conversation would be uplifting and humorous and, at times, spirited.
He will be missed. Good people always are.
