Among the very first friends my parents made at Villa Crest was Carl. He was a friendly, courtly, solicitous gentleman whose courage and positive outlook uplifted our lives and brightened our days. We shall all miss him...and we're all better people for having the privilege to know him.

To the Bergstrom family:
I am so sad to hear of Carl's passing. He was such a good friend to my family, especially to my Dad, Paul Sherber. We all worked together at Middlesex Welding. I will never forget the stories of all of us going camping when I was little.
My sympathy goes out to your whole family.
