The two were inseparable with unwavering love and dedication to each other over a marriage of 48 years.

Karl and Mona shared a profound love of music and entertainment, attending hundreds of concerts and blasting their music nightly. They refused to grow old and always maintained high energy and an uninhibited joy for life and service to others. Karl was extremely devoted to his children and family. He is survived by his wife Mona, two loving sons Chuck (Karl) and Mike, his daughters in law Jo Anne and Marissa, and four grandchildren Antoinette, William, Michael, and Amelia. Karl's stepfather George Moser was also his best friend, only surpassed in friendship by his wife Mona. Karl was a devout animal lover, who hated to see the suffering of any animal. He loved to travel, exercise, and work.

Karl was the head of his household as a teenager, working to help his struggling mother while achieving the highest academic scores in school. He became a Certified Public Accountant and obtained his Master of Laws in Taxation. He worked for the State’s Attorney's Office in Cook County for 18 years. He worked as a real estate attorney for nearly 40 years, working in tandem with his wife Mona Robertson, serving thousands of clients over his illustrious legal career. Mona was his right hand in all things.

Karl's family paid tribute to him as, ‘The ideal family patriarch, and the smartest, funniest, hardest- working person we have ever known. A hard-driving leader willing to sacrifice anything to assist and ease the suffering of others. He was a true martyr to his children and grandchildren, working with intense persistence to ensure a better life than he had for his lineage. We are truly lost without his relentless devotion and guidance to us.’
