Not sure what to say?

I have such fond memories of Carl and Rita coming to Pathfinder Church at the 5:00 pm service that I was a greeter at. Their smiles and sincere caring always warmed my heart. I sure will miss that. What a wonderful blessing though, that after we leave here we get to go to our eternal home.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Carl was one of the kindest men I have had the pleasure of knowing. He was a faithful member of Fee Fee Baptist Church and well loved there. He served His God well.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I remember Carl when he was our captain at Woodson Terrace and he was on the veterans committee with you. I stood with Carl many times during the veterans and Memorial Day services. We stood together as Marines. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

So sorry for your loss.

Rita
I am so sorry to hear of Carl’s passing. You mentioned in your Christmas card about Carl’s illness and I was praying for him. Now I will be praying for you.
You friend

I’m so honored to have served side by side with Capt. Martin on the Woodson Terrace Police Department. He was a great leader a cops cop and a great mentor. I will miss you sir.
Det.Sgt.Keith Stumpf(Ret.).

Rest in heaven Captain 12.
