Dear Pat and Family:
We have been thinking back to the great times we have had with your wedding aboard the Spirit of Detroit,crusing down Woodward Ave(Dream Cruise),the times visiting on Colony and Harsen's Island,dinner out and the times you, came to visit us at our home. Carl was so personable,warm, kind, and so witty. He was always interested in what others have to say and had such a diverse knowledge in so many different subjects. Just one wonderful man and we will certainly miss him. We send our love to you, Pat and to the entire family.
