Add your memorial for Karl Flusche

We were not close friends while at BA but, our paths crossed at Mather AFB when Karl and Cindy were stationed there with my husband and I. We lost touch over the years of Karl's career. However the memories we shared - even briefly - lent a good beginning to my introduction to life as the wife of an Air Force officer. My sincere condolences to Cindy and Family. And, my thanks for Karl's service to our Country. GOD's Peace.

Wonderful guy who wore his ROTC uniform with dignity and pride. I will forever be grateful that Facebook allowed me to "know" him better than I did at B.A. May his rest be eternal in heaven.

From the minute my mother met Karl, she wanted me to date him (sorry Cindy). She always thought he was so smart and so handsome. Turns out she was right; he was the best looking man at the 30th reunion and she gloated when I told her so. I always knew him to be a great guy and I know he is missed by many.

Karl and I were rivals back at BA--we both competed for appointments to the Air Force Academy, but were both lucky enough to attend. Although Karl didn't stay at the Academy, he helped me get through that first tough semester, and we became good friends. Years later, after Karl retired from the Air Force, I hired him to be the Air Force college admissions representative for BA--coming full-circle from that Air Force officer who first helped us get in. Karl was a good man--I'll miss him.

What a great guy! He was always willing to lend a hand, and I had just seen him at a recent 40th Reunion Planning Meeting when weeks later he passed away. Cindy, I know you know how lucky you were to have such a good man.
