You were a neighbor and friend for many years to our mom and the rest of the Swanson family. Mother really enjoyed cooking some dishes that only the two of you liked. She will really miss the nice visits you two shared with each other. Our hearts and prayers go out to all his family.

We will miss you Carl, especially that friendly wave at the toot of a horn as we drive by your place. We will always remember the good times and laughter that we shared at the Red Ox. You're a great friend and we were glad to be apart of your life.
