Uncle Carl, I am so thankful for my memories of you. Riding in that awful green Jeep to Banjamin Stables to ride Tom Thumb. My first dog, Wolf. Holding out my hand and you always filling it with change when I was little. Raw hotdogs, bologna and Johnny Cash!!! Love you and miss you.

Carl, I will miss you. You filled a void in my life as no one but a brother could. You stood by me when the chips were down and held me up.You loved me as I am and did not judge me. I am truly blessed to call you brother.

You were injured in Vietnam but never gave up the battle,but when you got this cancer and tried to beat it you couldn't win. But you will always be in our thoughts and we will never forget the kind gentle loving person that you were.
