I am sorry for your loss. I enjoyed having Karl for a math teacher and sitting with him while playing my cello.
He was always kind and understanding. I really appreciated his patience. I wish my father had been as kind and understanding as Karl was. His presence in my life was a gift.

My heartfelt condolences to Karl M Nienhuis and family for the loss of his father. I have had the pleasure to work with Karl M at North High School in Sheboygan. He is an inspiring and positive teacher and coach, and makes a difference every day in the lives of students. I have also had Karl M's sons in class. Super students and athletes. A great family and a joy to be around.
Wishing you God's strength and comfort during this time,
Tamara Byberg-Kautzer

Mr. Neinhaus was an excellent and important role model for me growing up. A very kind person at church, an important teacher at school and my wrestling coach. I am grateful for knowing him and am keeping his family in my thoughts!

Many years ago I knew him as Mr. Neinhuis my geometry teacher. Then I moved into the Evergreen Estates condoes. He soon became Karl to me and I enjoyed his smile and laughter for 12 years. I will sorely miss our conversations as there were many times he would be outside when i was on my walks. Rest in peace dear friend and neighbor. I will keep your family in my prayers. Mary
