Karl Dencker - April 3, 1932 - April 22, 2022

District 8 has lost another old friend with the passing of Karl Dencker, 90, of Lake in the Hills IL.

Originally from Fort Dodge IA, Karl had a long career as a sales executive, real-estate developer and small business owner. He was recognized for his volunteer work in his church and many community organizations. In Streamwood IL, he was named Chamber of Commerce Man of the Year.

Karl was also a tireless worker for bridge players. A Bronze Life Master, he served as Unit and District president, ran a local club and chaired the annual regional tournament in Crystal Lake IL. In 2014, he won ACBL's prestigious Goodwill Member of the Year award.

Our condolences go out to Raj, his wife of 68 years, and to his family and many friends.
