My family and I had the privilege of knowing Carl. We are in total shock to learn he had passed on so suddenly. I had the pleasure of working with Carl and he was a genuine craftsman in all that he did. He would give you the shirt off of his back without hesitation. I can still hear his funny witt about all he talked about. Everyone who knew Carl loved him. He will be missed immensely. May he rest in peace.
