family on May 3, 2019. He was born in Venice, Florida, but was raised in Stoughton, MA
where he graduated from Stoughton High School. He graduated from Chamberlayne
Junior College before enlisting in the US Air Force. He proudly served his country,
stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson AZ. Following his discharge, he and his wife
Beverly settled down, raising their family in East Sandwich.
Karl's professional career found him involved for 35+ years in banking, starting in branch
management. He continued to provide financial services in mortgage lending for
residential and commercial projects, serving communities on Cape Cod, the Plymouth
area, and southeastern Massachusetts.
Retiring in 2006, he kept himself busy with swimming (or floating), golfing, boating,
bicycling, motorcycling the roads of Cape Cod, and watching the Patriots and the Red
Sox. Never one to sit still, Karl, his wife, and two dogs, Dusty and Brady hit the road in
the RV, visiting national parks and local attractions in every state east of the Mississippi
River (and some beyond).
He is survived by Beverly, his wife of nearly 50 years, their son Bobby and his wife Karen
of Lehigh Acres, FL and their daughter Sarah and her husband Bill French of Sagamore
Beach, MA. His grandchildren include Izzy and Angel Andersen of Fort Myers and Nate
and Aly French of Sagamore Beach. He is also survived by his sister, Marcia and husband
Steve Banks of Norton, MA and brother Rob of Middleboro, MA, several nieces and
nephews, and many good friends.
