Carl will be missed by many friends and family. God sure did get one of the good ones, Heaven got more beautiful when Cael arrived. I'm pretty sure when my Dad seen Carl in Heaven, he was sad and heartbroken to see him, but I'm sure they got right to work on some pretty cool cars and trucks. Carl was like a son to Dad and Mom and a brother to my sister, myself and our younger brothers, He was and will always be our family. Ellen, Kids, and grandkids, Our hearts are broken and our Prayers and Thoughts are with all of you, we are so very sorry. We love you all.
