Until my 12th birthday, I spent a great deal of time with Carl. He was always my favorite uncle. May God watch over his family and receive him into his heavenly home.

Dear family, I am a cousin of yours, Sharon Ownby, daughter of Winford Carson and Celia. I'm so sorry for your loss, may God comfort you in his arms. I new Carl when he was young, mom and dad would visit with Sylvia lee and Earmel, Rob and Lydie. I remember he had the most beautiful eyes. I think that's an Ownby trait. I live in Knoxville, TN at 1169 Winding Way. Bless each of you.
