Karl, Siggy, and my late husband Earl sure had a great time together. Anything with with a motor could get them in trouble!! He sure loved his dog and was a great note writer when he could no longer talk. He is not out of all that pain. Susie Roberts

My Father was a true inspiration to me, I got that compettitive edge,and mechanical know how from him, Even though it seemed that he and I were always in competition with each other (who's is faster)It was still fun, and kept me on my toes, Many fond memories of him, we raced motocycles and snowmobiles together, some of the up north trips were the most fun with him, even just sitting and having a beer with him, he lef an everlasting impression on me , and now it is up to me to carry on the legacy of my father.He will truely be missed by us all!

Karl Bergschwenger - I worshiped the guy, Manuel and I used to visit with him at his shop on M-59 as boys. I loved everything to do with motorcycles, snowmobiles... and Karl always encouraged Manual and I in our pursuit of everything motorized. I remember him taking us to German festivals, got a kick out of the fire in his personality. Karl left not just me, but others with a multitude of good memories, which is indicates he spent his life well.
