Please join us in celebrating Karlis A (Karl) Velde's life

VELDE, KARLIS A (KARL): (26.9.46 ~ 10.1.26). Son of Janis and Genoveva (of Latvia).

Karl was farewelled with family hugs, laughter and tears as he set out on his next adventure. Wife Liz, children Maria, Matthew and Emma, their spouses Neil, Felicia and Warwick, and grandchildren Sam, Inese, Julian, Annabelle, Kahlo and Niko will all miss his company, his wonderful sense of humour and his many talents.

He enjoyed his life, his friends and wider family immensely and managed to fill each day until the days ran out.
