When I remember Carl...........I will have to remeber "Betty"......his fun loving teasing my entire life makes his loss hard......He made his home my second home and growing up with his daughters always made me feel like I was part of the family.

I will never forget the sandwiches he always made me, I called it the "papa sandwich". I will never forget the soccer games and how for we traveled to get to them.(I'll take care of you Granny)

I believe Carl was the only person to persuade my dad to get on a horse and take an innertube down a river. My memories of Carl are many and they will live on. Our loss is heaven's gain... Love to the Zirzow family...Linda, Doug and Bob

I will miss Carl greatly. It’s hard to find all the words to describe all the wonderful memories that I have accumulated of Carl over the coarse of my entire life. Times golfing, playing horseshoes, jarts, camping, general BS-ing and the way he laughed, are things that come to my mind right off. I feel blessed to have had Carl in my life.

My heart felt condolences,

Carl was the best Manhattan maker. I will miss him for that.......especially because I never learned how to make my own

One of my favorite memories of Carl was when I was young, Carl was showing me how he could remove the tip of his thumb (he always had a neat trick to show me) then, just a year ago I saw Carl showing my nieces that same trick. It brought back so many great memories. I will miss Carl.



My deepest sympathy, Love Susie
