I have had the honor of knowing Carl and family for many years.
Carl was an exceptional person in every way and I always looked forward to visiting with him.
He always had a joke to tell and a smile on his face. My life is better because of the fellowship
I enjoyed with him. To say I will miss this friend is an understatement. I pray for his family during this time of loss.
