Say hello to IZ . Whats it like over the Rainbow

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so very sorry to hear about Carl's passing. Carl and I have known each other for about 40 years. Since his vegetable stand days. We were always glad to bump into each other. He always had a nice word to say, a laugh and a smile. I will miss him greatly. I am very sad for his family. I know this is a great loss for them.

Carl will be missed by many as he was always a good friend you could count on. He has been a close friend to my family since the 1950's and we couldn't have asked for a better friend... Sorry for your loss Karen - Tom Reed

Condolences to Carl's family. Another Lanphier classmate and good friend graduated upstairs. Carl was a great guy.

Carl was a patient of mine, but had a way of making me feel like family. He always asked about my kids and when he saw us in Lowe's he gave them build a car kits. They loved it! He was funny and kind and made everyone feel special. I'm so sorry for your loss. This world hasn't lost a great man.

My condolences to Carl's family. Carl and I were classmates at Lanphier High School and were friends as well. Good guy!
