Carl had incredible love, adoration and pride for his two sons: Carl and Jacq. The spirit of love Carl held in his heart for his two sons was an unconditional, deep, never ending, forever love. He had two grandchildren, Katelyn and Ethan, who also held a very special place in his heart. He really truly loved his nephew and nieces as well.
