Carl was a great guy who always had a smile whenever you saw him. He took great pride in his family and his love of family even showed in his extended family. We will never forget the welcome that we always recieved when we came to visit. It didn't matter if you were coming to go trick or treating, visiting for Christmas, or just stopping in to say hello.... Bunny and Carl always made you feel special. We will never forget his kindness to our family. Rest in peace, Carl. It is well deserved
