Ive never met a man more funny, outgoing, and kind as Carl. Or with more love for his "man cub" and family.He was only part of our family for about a year but he forever made his mark. He will surely be missed.So very sorry for your loss.

I only met him 2 weeks ago and I am truly sad that I didn't have an opportunity to know him for longer May God Bless you.
