CARL R. WITHERS

On behalf of the Shaker Historical Museum, we send our sincerest condolences to Carl's family and friends. He served this community in many ways; he was a longstanding member and trustee of the Shaker Historical Society.

Your father was an amazing man and certainly loved life to the fullest!

His legacy will live on through you, your sisters and your nephews...
