Dad,

I love you with all of my heart and miss you. You were always there for me and stood by my side no matter which decision that I chose right or wrong! You loved me unconditionally. You are an awesome father, faithful husband and dedicated friend. I am so lucky to have such as a man as you in my life better yet as my "Father". Thank you for you who you are and the person that you made me. I promise you that I will watch over Mom and take her under my wing as you would want me too. I still can't believe that you are not here with me but with god helping him to prepare a place for us. Thank you!!!! Please watch over me from heaven and still help me to do what is right and good! I love you Dad!!!! Dawn (XOXOXOXOXOXO)

Carl, I can't believe your not here with us, I miss asking your advice and seeing all the new toys you couldn't wait to show me. I still look for you everywhere and expect you to walk around the corner into your kitchen or see you lying on the couch. You were the one who always came to the rescue when Carl tried to be a carpenter and any time we just needed some advice, we will always miss you. Love, Carl, Tammy and Katie

Dear Grandpa, I miss coming to see you and going for golf cart rides. I miss beating on your belly when you were laying on the couch and most of all I miss our tractor rides. Someday we'll meet again and I'll show you how good of a tractor driver I am. I love you. Love, Katie Susaberry

I became acquainted with Carl when I had the "Good Fortune" to acquire a new Niece by marriage (Denise). Carl had a very comedic style (especially with
his "Voice Mimicry"). He will be missed very much by all.
Please allow me to express My Condolences to "All of his Family, et al". I was taught by the Jesuits (Per St. Thomas Aquinas): That one day, we will all partake of the "Beatific Vision", “as one". Everyone will anticipate the “Great Reunion” with all of our “Loved Ones”.
To Finish, With a Small Note to Carl (A Gaelic Prayer), which is not necessary in his case:“May Your Soul be in Heaven, One Half Hour before the Devil Knows that You are dead”.----He was already in Heaven, long before the Half Hour had passed.

Daddy,
I am going to miss you so much. You were the best father. You were always there for me, helping me, making me laugh. I have so many great memories of you. I am thankful that you got to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day. I know you didn't want to give me away, that you secretly hoped I would be at home forever. I am thankful that you taught me to be a hard worker, and the morals you instilled in me. I am also grateful that in these last months that you found the Lord. I know you are in Heaven watching us and telling us that you will see us again. Sascha, Triangle and Booger are going to miss their Grandpa. I will always be Daddy's Little Girl.

I lost my brother...my friend
Carly, I don't know what I'm going to do without you..You were always there for me for everything. Whenever I needed advice, you were the one I always turned to. I'm going to miss our camping trips, our Friday night dinners, and the rides you took me on with your golf cart. How we always called each other, even if it was just to say hi because you always needed to know that I was ok. But most of all, I'm going to Miss You. You were the best big brother that always looked after his sister. And I know how much you loved me. I love you Carly, and will miss you deeply..your sister..Mary

Words cannot express how sad this time is right now. But I continue to think of all the great times we had together. Carl will be greatly missed by all who knew him. It was an honor to have Carl as a Brother In-Law & Best Friend.

I will never forget the camping & snowmobile trips,long rides & your quick humor..."Scott you know your sled broke down, because you laughed at Greg going in that hole" I didn't laugh...."Really? I did when I knew he was all right!"

Maybe Adam & Greg will volunteer to take the snow in the face...

So many great memories is what will make this a little easier. Someday we will all be together again to finish that "dart game"

Love & Miss You Buddy!

Carl, You were a great father-n-law. You were like a second Dad. You were helpful and hilarious. You spent many hours helping us with our house or should I say doing the work for us. I learned a great deal from you inluding the manyFarmall tractors that are out there. I will miss talking with you and enjoying your sense of humor. I'll miss snowmobiling with you and riding around your property while you're in your golf cart. You will be missed by many especially your family. You are in a better place with God now looking down upon us and catching up with those who went before you. Someday we will see you again and pick up where we left off. I will miss you! We love you Denise, Adam Jenna, and Julia

Carl you'll be greatly missed! You're in a better place now meeting God and catching up with all the others who passed before you. You were a great guy who was extremely helpful and you had a great sense of humor. It was an honor to know you and have you as a father-n-law. I looked forward to talking with you everytime we visited. We will always remember you and someday we'll see you up above in Heaven. We will all miss you! Denise, Adam, Jenna, and Julia
