Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. What a blessing Uncle Carl was. I remember sitting in the garage with Greg wrapping our baseballs with 3M tape so we could use them longer. And for sure we knew which baseballs were ours. God Bless you all, we love you.

I have the best of memories of Uncle Carl and Aunt Marie growing up on the East Side and Swede Hollow. It was always a treat to visit the Capra house as there was always the very best in Italian food on the stove or in the fridge. Uncle Carl was always cracking jokes or kidding me about anything that would make me laugh! I miss those days but will always have the memories.

Dont think of him as gone away his journey's just begun, life holds so many facets, this earth is only one, just think of him resting from the sorrow and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away, think of him living in the hearts of those he touched for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.
