You still help me every day

Our family, the Beier family, loved Carl so very much. He and my Daddy, Henry G. Beier, were great friends. Carl called my Dad, "Pard". They were in a show troop together for many years, that went around performing for service men and women of our nation. When Carl would come visit my Dad, they would sit and tell us so many stories of those days. We would all have so much fun laughing, and would always wish that those shows had been taped. Carl was a special man and he will be deeply missed by my Dad, and our whole family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I remember the Friday nights, when Carl and Kurt would come around and collect us to play Tripoly and other games. It's one of my favorite times.
