Not sure what to say?

When Carl was in town for the College World Series he attended our church Lefler United Methodist. We looked forward to his yearly visits. Prayers for his family and friends. Rich and Shirl Rollins

Carl was always welcome at Lefler United Methodist Church in Omaha, Ne during the college World Series. We so looked forward to his visit every year. So very sorry for your loss.

Carl would always attend Lefler UMC when he came to the CWS in Omaha. We so looked forward to seeing him and have missed him these past few years. We could never get him to stay for brunch, though; he had to get to the ballpark!

I am sorry I just received the news. Please allow me to take a minute to Remember Carl!I worked with Carl in the 80’s at Melpar/ESystems now Raytheon in the Accounting group! I have never met anyone kinder, more patient and generous than Carl! Even back then when businesses knew little about employee work life balance, Carl knew everything about it! He has left a tremendous legacy in his children and his dear wife Carol! He generously shared all of the wonderful accomplishments in your...

Carol, on behalf of the Furr family we want to extend our condolences. Our dad Wally always considered Carl one of his closest friends. Maybe Carl and Dad can go do some fishing on the other side now. Carl was a great man and the world got a little darker with Carl’s passing.
You are in our thoughts.

What a nice man. I was introduced to him by my father Garland D. Keys (alias Smokey Ridgeway) when I was a young boy. Carl was never to busy talk baseball. He was always a welcome site at local ballparks. What a nice garden he had which reflected the kind of person he was. I'm so sorry for your loss but will remember him and am so glad to have met him. I believe that he's not sitting on the bench but answering the call when the Lord says play ball!

A perfect gentleman and a great baseball player. I played a lot of games with Carl and not once did I hear Carl say anything bad about anyone. Maybe one day he and I will play baseball again.

Carl was a great friend and a baseball legend. Sorry for his passing, he is in a great place now. I will miss seeing him at baseball games.

I have known Carl and his brother and his Mom And Dad my entire life! My parents lived with his Mom and Dad for a short while when they were married! I was given my name after his Mom Mary Carnes! The entire Cranes family have always put the Lord first in their lives and everyone loved them! Carl was a Christian that I always looked up to and respected he showed such love to everyone! I will miss him but I know he is with God now! I will see him again one day and we will rejoice in...
