Karl was my mate of many years. I first met him when i was 18 and we both rocked up to start our psych nurse training.
He was funny, kind and bit odd- I know he wouldn't mind my description.
We drank together, we laughed together and I tormented him at times but all with kindness and fondness.
Rest easy my old mate x

Karl, I didn’t know you very well but one thing I did know is that you were a sweet man with the purest of intentions. I hope you’re resting now.
