Dear Grisa Family,
I just found out about Carl's passing. I am so sorry. I worked with Carl at Arandell until Febuary 2011. He attended my son's Funeral in May of 2010, who also passed from cancer. Carl was and still is a beautiful soul, who loved and cheerished his family so much. He was always upbeat and so positive even during the most difficult times. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dearest Grisa Family,
I have no words that can convey to you my sympathy for your loss. Carl was one of the best guys I know. For 9 years we worked together at NSPG and Carl always took the high road. Black or white, right or wrong... No grey. He had his planner with his personal motto and goals written in the front and he lived by it. For Carl - family always came first and we all knew it, he loved you and cherished you all so very much. He touched so many people with kind spirit and will be so greatly missed.
