Carl was one of the nicest neighbors we ever had. He was a good God Fearing Man. The highest praise I can give anyone.
I spent several years of my childhood next to this wonderful man. He was very special to me, I remember getting to be in his garden supposedly ‘weeding’. I pulled lots of weeds that I am sure were not, he never said a bad word, told me to keep going sugar, youre doing fine. My most memorable time was that day we saw a snake head into the dirt bank below my house. he went & got his hoe to get it out of there. But what happened next I will never forget, the dirt gave way & it turned out to be a snake den. Full of snakes squirming & stuff. He didnt rest that day until he had gotten them all cause he was affraid that I would be out in my yard & get bit by one. I am 33 now & he never failed to recognize me when he saw me. I will miss him very much & remember him with a smile on my face. I loved him as if he were a part of my family.
