I was saddened to hear of your fathers death. He and Paul were wonderful, kind, loving men. Your parents and Paul were over to the house often. Especially Paul. He would often come over with Grandpa Thom. Your parents were great people and all will/are greatly missed. After chatting with Carla and Tommy at another family function a little over a years ago, I thought Carl would out live all of us. He was such a strong individual.
