Not sure what to say?

Papa,
There is no words to describe his strength and givingness. He taught me how to give and to never give up. I will miss him greatly but cherish my memories with him. I know that even though he will not be present at my wedding or at the birth of my children that he will be there in spirit with my grandmother.

It is in great grief through which I view the death of Carl. As a one time employee and extended family member, I will always remember a man who was dedicated to his family, his employees, and friends.

Carl Working at Cherry House Moving

To the Cherry's,
My deepest condolences on the passing of your father. It was always a pleasure to talk and joke with Carl to make the workday more enjoyable during the time that I worked there.

Carl knew how to make people laugh and it was a joy being in a group with him. He worked hard in his lifetime and left a business to his sons that they have built upon.May his love of life be with his family. Carl will be missed, but know he is now at rest with the Lord and all is well.

TO THE FAMILY I WISH TO EXTEND MY FEELINGS OF SYMPTHIA. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL HOURS WITH CARL AND BARBRA IN THE STAR MEETINGS AND ENJOYED THEM. I HAVE A LONG SHOE SPOON THAT HE GAVE ME. HE SAID THAT IT WOULD KEEP AN OLD MAN FROM HAVING TO BEND OVER TO PUT HIS SHOES.

Carl was not only a great friend and loved one, he was an icon to his family and all of mankind. He was truly a "Man Amoung Men". We will all miss his great sense of humor and the great stories that he always took time to pass on.
Carl, you will never be forgotten for we will always keep you in our thoughts and heart.
