Hi Dad


It's been almost 2 years since you passed
I just want to say that you gave me with the gift of life after you left and for that I will be ever grateful
I hope you and Karen have found each other again 
With love 
Your son Michael 

 We are all saddened by the loss of Michael .

  Along with his four children, please keep in your thoughts & prayers his devoted Grandchildren Adam, Alexandra, Jami, Walker, Christopher & Wyatt.

Michael loved them all dearly, much more than they could possible know.  He was also excited to be a Great Grandpa to Michael, Melina & Hugh.

Michael you have been our transplanted Hawaiian for many years.  I am so glad you are now at peace and will be able to join your beloved wife,  Karen, Chong Martelli.

My late husband and I have shared many good times with you and Karen and will miss you dearly.  Here's to good Italian pasta and Chinese food.  Have a great time eating all your favorite foods and looking down on your family with pride.

Jami and Julia - my deepest condolences.  Hope to see you again in the future.  To your brothers Mike and Nick, I am deeply sorry,

To all the grandkids who I met when you came out to Hawaii except for the 2 youngest and to the great grandchild, your grandpa took a lot of pride in each of you and was full of news of your life.

Have a safe  journey my friend and  fly high with the angels.  Hope you run into Charlie (my late husband) on the way and the 2 of you are sharing a beer or 2 or good wine.  Say hi to Karen and take care of each other.

with fondest aloha,
Karen Scharfenstein

We the Staff of Kraeer Sample Road Funeral Home would like to extend our most deepest and heartfelt condolences on the passing of your loved one.  “Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal but love leaves memories that no one can steal.”
