Carl D. Gould

I first met Col. Gould while I was a teenager working at Gleneagle. He was fair, firm, and a gentleman. He always had a smile and a story to tell me about how he was my stepdad's ROTC instructor at U of M. I will always carry with me many fond memories of Col. Gould. My best to the Gould family and always know what a positive effect Col Gould had on those he touched.

Carl was one of my first bosses. I was just a punk little kid that cleaned clubs at Gleneagle. he was a great mentor. took me golfing more times than I can count. later in life, we rekindled our relationship when I became his dentist. Man, he could still play. he used the same ball for ten years. I have many fond memories of him and I will greatly miss him. he's in a better place now, still swinging a club.

To General Gould, Patty and entire Gould family: Please know that our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you this morning as you lay your father and family patriarch to rest. His legacy of service and commitment to this nation as a member of The Greatest Generation, and in educating and training the next generation(s) serve as a beacon to us all.

Perhaps Winston Churchill described your father best when he said "You make a living by what you get, you make a life by what you...

Our sympathy to the Gould family and especially cousin Carol.

Carl was extremely respected in the USAFA family. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home for all. You'll be deeply missed bu all who knew you!

I had the pleasure of spending every other Saturday for the last 6 months in a Bible Study with Carl. He was a Godly man who in his children, grand children and friends, left a legacy that truly reflected his life.

Carl was my flight instructor for my Commercial Pilot's license. I loved being with him in a plane. One time, on a cross country flight to Atlanta, GA, the controller directed us, in our Cessna 172, down through a thunder storm. The plane flipped over and Carl just said, "Look at your airspeed," which had gone way to high, and I was able to regain control. That is all he said. When we landed he said, "That was fun!" I thought, "Not so much!" I'm sure he saved our lives.
