To the family we are so very sorry to learn of the passing of 'GRANDPA' as I always called him. He was truly a blessing to all who knew him. He called me 'girlfriend' and always had a quick smile. He lived his life to the fullest and will be truly missed by all. I will keep the family in my prayers. God bless you all.

Everett, to you and The Family:
When I first met Mr. Carl, I just feel in love with Him. He was the sweetest man, kind and loving. He welcomed me with open arms and a big hug, and from that day I started calling Him, Granddaddy and He got a kick out of that. Bless His heart, He has truly earned His Golden Wings. I will miss Him. God Bless you all, we loved Him but God loved Him best. My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy.
