I remember Carl well. He was a Boy Scout leader when I was in his troop. He was a young man of absolute integrity and positive leadership. I still recall when we shared a soda how he taught me why a person grabbing 110- or 220-volt wires with two hands will have a different response. May God bless all who knew him.

I will ceratinly miss my favorite uncle Carl as I still miss my favorite aunt Mickey. Although my chances to speak and visit with them have now passed the countless great times they provided my siblings and I and the memories of those times will always be with me and are shared frequently with my wife, daughter and friends.
My deepest sympathies to Sherry, Lorry and their families and especially to my father who lost his big brother.
I share in your loss and I love you all very much.
Little Otto
