Marian and Randy - You have my deepest sympathy in the passing of your father. His life sounded very fulfilling, but his life on this earth was way to short. May you keep his memories close to you. Rest in peace Mr. Karell.

Steve was on the interview team when I was highered back in 1998 for the Recreation Department. He was an elected official on our NORA Recreation Board. He always was supportive of all the recreation opportunities we offered to the community and also wanted to make sure all students had the opportunity to participate. We appreciated all his guidance and support as a Trustee. Prayers and condolences to the whole family for your loss.

Steve and Jean were my first and best friends when I showed up at school coming from Fruitport in 10th grade. Steve stood up for me at my wedding and remained my friend all these years, I already miss the thought of him not being around.
