Carbite was a wonderful freind to our family. He had a rye sence of humor. One time after I moved to Pa. Tiny and Carbite were hanging out at our apartment . As quick as I would bring a cookie sheet of cookies out they would eat them. They thought that was so funny.
He also had a heart as big as all out doors. A quiet man, a thoughtful man, a wonderful friend, i will miss him. With love linda and Prune Hatter
