I am so sorry to hear of this loss. I never knew Carl Robert but heard many stories of him throughout my life. I am Carl Ward Sturm's grandchild so Carl Robert was my cousin. My Dad Jeffrey Ward Sturm died in April 2012 suddenly and Michael Calladine (Janet Sturm's child) died in March 2013. So many losses in one far-flung family. Happy to see how loved and admired Carl was. My best wishes to your family at this difficult time.

I just found out this week that Carl is gone. I only knew him through Zim's, but I found out he was a really good person. He kept my old cars running for many years. I could trust him to do what was right, to tell me the truth, and to be considerate of my limited means. I thought of him as a friend. My very deepest sympathy to his family.

I just found out about Carl's death and was shocked and saddened for all of us that knew him and for those that didn't get to meet him. He was always ready with a smile or advice to do the right thing for all at Zim's. Carl helped me and my family so many times. I will miss Carl tremendously now when my car is working and always remember him when it is not!

Nancy, I am so sad to hear about this, please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Since I met you guys in 1987 and you did up my car that I got to see at every show we were both at, I have enjoyed having you as friends. Please don't hesitate to call if you need me.
Stay strong,
Jim Rhinehart

Nancy,
Jackie and I (and the entire Mopar community) are deeply saddened by Carl's passing. Carl will always be remembered for his smile, and his kind words, as well as how he ALWAYS went out of his way to say hello to us at the shows, even if he was talking with a customer!
Carl was one of the good guys, and will always be with us, and remembered by us that way.
Take care; see you soon!

Carl I can't begin to say how I felt being your friend and you mine. I will miss our hugs at Carlisle and anywhere you and Nancy would set up your Mopar stuff. I will never forget you and knowing you has been a plus having you on my side. We have been friends for about a Quarter of a Century, not long enough. Nancy and you are like family without any arguments. Carl you will always be in my heart. I'm hoping we will see one another again someday, in a better place, a "Mopar Heaven" maybe.

My dearest friend...
I miss you already. How am I going to do this thing called life without you here? You always made me smile on bad days and I did you the same. I loved to aggravate you just to see you do that half smile knowing that it was all in fun. I'm trying not to cry so much but they just keep coming, but you know how sensitive I am to things anyhow so you would completely understand. I'm gonna miss you so much and I just pray for strength for Nancy. Love you, Lori..your favorite tow truck driver:-)
