Robert L. Carlson

To the memory of Bob, a favorite friend of my parents, Betty and Bill Hanson, and all his family,

I think of Bob most fondly, remembering many childhood picnics and visits with my family and yours. I wish my belated condolences to Bea, Barry and Kenny and all your family as we only heard two days ago. My brother was disappointed not to have been able to come Monday or Tuesday in Trenton.

Loosing such a great dad is saddening, but his grand impact on all around him...

Grandpa,

I think about you every day. I love you, and I miss you very much. I am so grateful that I was able to spend a lot of time with you during this past year. Thank you for being a great grandparent and a great friend -- I will always cherish our conversations.

Love,
Matt

Dad,

"What Matters When We're Gone"

For each of us whether we're ready or not
Some day we will come to an end
There will be no more surprises, no more minutes, hours, or days
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance
It will not matter what you owned or owed
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, jealousies will finally...

An Irish Blessing - Always in our hearts

May the road rise with you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again, may God kepp you in the hallow of His hand

Dad, while I am very sad to no longer have you in my life I am comforted to know that you are at peace. You are a very special person, generous and kind. Thank you for all you've given me and for being a loving grandpa to Ethan and Anna. I am especially grateful that I got to spend time with you last year and to say goodby to you in person.
With love and gratitude, Cathe

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Carlson. He will be missed by all who shared time with him. He was a friend and tennis buddy.
My condolences to Mrs. Carlson and the Carlson family.

Cousins Bea, Barry & Ken - We both send our condolences on Bob's passing. My best memories were of our time in Minnesota. Love and sympathy. Nanci (Comerford)Miller and Bethe Austin.

Dad, I love you and miss you more than you know. You were a wonderful father. I will miss our chats on my way home from work.
