Condolences to the Lundin Family. Our son, John, had the privilege of working for Lundin Construction. Karl was a wonderful employer, mentor and friend who was very instrumental and influential in our son’s decision to pursue a career in carpentry. My husband, Herb, had the privilege of working with Karl at Tow Master and enjoyed their many trips and chats. Karl was a great patriarch to the Lundin family and has left an everlasting legacy to his family, church and community. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant. Blessed be his memories.
