Carl, We had lots of great memories together. You always made me laugh. I will cherish and always think of you on every other Saturday morning our manicures. You will be greatly missed. I will never forget the talks we had, especially when you made me think about "Keeping the Faith" You helped me through when my father was told he had cancer. I will keep the faith and "chin" up kiddo...Thanks Carl for always checking in when I was not feeling so well. You will be greatly missed by everyone at Bravo'Salon..I will check up on the "mrs" often. You really had life by the tail. I admire your courage and "faith". Thanks carl for all the great memories..Maybe someday we will meet again. Katie...Carl spoke so kindly of you so many Saturday mornings...He loved you so..We talked so many time of you and your family..Carl loved and cherished his family. Carl loved to read books...and he always would tell me he was going to the library to get a new one...A man so strong in his belief of life and family. I learned so much and will greatly miss him...Thanks Carl..Your friend and Manicurist: Kathy Hurst
