Grandpa C, as he became known to us through Wendy's kids, was such a wonderful man. We were so fortunate to be included in family gatherings at Wendy's house with Grandpa C. His love for his family was always apparent, even in tough times. Cody, Tyler, and Emma, always remember that Grandpa C loves you and is forever in your hearts.

We love you all.

Dear Larry & family and Sigrid,

I didn't know Carl well, even though he was my father's cousin. However, I will always remember him as a kind & generous man - always smiling.

My older brother Gary would have liked to attend Carl's memorial service, but he does not have a passport. I don't know if you are aware, but we lost our brother Grant in October just past.

Our deepest sympathies go out to you.

Sincerely,
Greg & Dianne Udy and family

To the Westman Family
I met Carl through his brother Eythor in purchasing the Westview Motel. He was always so thoughtful and gracious, a wonderful sense of humor and a great business ethic. I had missed seeing him walk along the beach at Birch Bay where I could stop and chat with him.
My sympathies to all.

Although I did not know Carl Westman personally, I do know of the love he had for his family and what a special grandfather he was to Tonya and Wendy and to his great-grandchildren. My thoughts are with you during this time of loss, but I know you will always have wonderful memories to pass down through the family generations. I know you valued the many years you enjoyed with him. I send my love and caring to each of you, and my sincere condolences.
