It’s hard to believe that uncle Carl passed away a full year ago. He was such an important and inspirational part of everyone’s lives. He peeked our son’s creativity and helped him visualize and create objects that were absolutely magnificent. He talked about Uncle Carl all the time and as a result, has now been promoted to the position of vice president of structural engineering at a large firm in Blue Bell. We thank uncle Carl, and hold him dearly in our hearts for all he has done for our family.
