Not sure what to say?

A memory of Carl passed through my mind the other day. Brought a smile to my face on a gray and cloudy day. Then again, Carl could do that. Bless you Carl.

I only have good memories of Carl. He always enjoyed the hotdogs that had gone around on the spit at airports until they were good and brown. Great guy to golf with as he always complimented you are your game regardless of how you were playing. Generous to a fault and very compassionate. Missed often. Lloyd

I worked with Carl for 16 years until he retired. Carl was always willing to lend an ear, offer suggestions, and give a helping hand. He was generous with his time and I never spent a bad minute with him. Great guy and leader.

I worked with Carl many years. He was a kind and gentle man. A great boss and leader. He was admired, loved and respected by all who knew him. He became a very dear friend after we both retired I will miss him dearly.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Carl. I met Carl through a Michigan Millers golf outing. Truly a great guy with a charismatic smile. I certainly was not a golfer of Carl's caliber but he made it seem I was. He had a way of helping you without you even knowing it. Always a smile and always a great laugh. Thank you Carl. May you enjoy many rounds in heaven. Bless you Carl.
