Dear Linda and Family,
We have shared years and years of Husky games with your dad. He and Al introduced us to the flask binoculars with a little something to warm our hot chocolate. He was the ultimate Husky fan and he was so proud of his children.
He was a good man in every sense of the word and we will miss him.
Jan Hamilton and family

What a dear and fine man. Kind, caring, intelligent, diligent and motivated to a higher purpose, Carl was the best of the best. While hilariously funny, Carl was serious about making our country a better place for all. And he did it, one person at a time, through his special blend of humor, intellect and passion. He never forgot a friend and was always there to help. I'm a better man for knowing him and look forward to meeting him again in Heaven. I know he'll be there. Now I just have to buckle down and follow his lead. May we have many more like him. He's missed already.
