I am so deeply saddened by Carl's passing. I know he was so happy to be back home with family when he left Texas. We all loved him here at Postel Credit Union. His quick wit and humor always made our day! I know he is up in heaven with LaDonna and family rejoicing! Our prayers are with Julia and family!!

I have known Carl for 30 years. He was a great friend and neighbor. He knew everything that was happening in our small section of Texas. He was best friends with my husband, Terry, and spent lots of time on the front porch discussing any and everything..we have missed him since he and LaDonna moved but we still talked on the phone and kept up. He is going to be badly missed.
