Truly the king of volleyball. You have inspired me and will be missed from the game. Thank you for everything you have done to further the sport of volleyball.
I've met some great athletes in my time, from Gretzky to Jordan to Favre, Federer to Agassi, but I rank Karch Kiraly as the #1 of all-time for ALL sports.
The guy was the best for 20 years, indoor and outdoor. Against the world.
The AVP will die without Karch. Sad, but I think it's heading that way.....
Some greatest athlete in sport - when you think of basketball - Jordan, Golf - Tiger/Jack, Tennis - Roger/Pete, Volleyball - Karch. It'll be a while before anyone can match his record in AVP Tournaments winnings.
He's the person I emulated in volleyball. I watched him during the 88' Olympics. I love his passion, his desire to win.
He has taught me a lot.
Thanks Karch for inspiring me to be the best that I can be...You're a Legend indeed!!
Karch is a god. I loved these guys back in the heyday. I have the Redsand logo (Steve Timmons caricature) tattoed on my back from back when the US volleyball team was dominant.
What I like about him is that although he is probably the best volleyball player of the 20th century, he seems to be not arrogant at all and very likeable and down-to-earth =)
Thanks for the memories Karch! I consider you not only the "greatest" volleyball player of my time, but a true inspiration to everyone. You will be missed!
Karch is the greatest of all time. In fact, I named my only son Karch after him. Karch is indeed a Hungarian hame.

Karch the best to ever play the game. Karch Kiraly and Kent Steffes arguably the best beach volleyball team of all time.
