Karl was a loving father and husband and his sense of humor always made everyone around him happy. I was his son Chips girlfriend for a few years and he always made me feel like part of the family. It is with great sadness that I heard of his passing. My thoughts will be with his family.
Love April Angelina Spiva

To Karl's sisters, I'm very sorry about the loss of your brother. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. You won't recognize my name, so I will tell you that I am the widow of one of your cousins, Ralph F. Pichoff, who just passed away this past November. I know you are related but I can't say how. His father's name was Edwin W. Pichoff, and brothers living are Darrel and Charles. Sisters who passed away: Linda (Sis) Simoneaux, Carol Jane Pichoff, and brothers who passed away are Morris (Jim), Edwin (Man) Pichoff. Ralph's mom was Mae Landry Pichoff Hamm. Please tell me how they were related if you can......

I grew up without a dad but this man has made up for that in the past 5 years. He was a wonderful husband to my mom and step father to me. He was always joking and smiling and never went without telling how beautiful he thought I was and how much he loved me. He has made my mother so extremely happy these past 5 years, happier than I have seen her in a long time. We know now he isn't sick anymore and that he is in heaven with the angels. He will be greatly missed and NEVER forgotten. I will miss you Karl, you were one of a kind.

. For the past 5 years I've learned to love this man as if he was my birth father. He never went without telling me he loved me every time we spoke. I know he is at peace now and not sick anymore and that he is in heaven with the angels just as he was one. He will never be forgotten. I still can't believe he's gone. Karl was one of a kind.
