Dear Family,

I just learned of Carl's death. I am sorry for your loss. I had not seen Carl in a long time. then one Saturday a few year's ago we bumped into two each other at a yard sale. I first met Carl through ABATE and then as a social friend of his and his wife Sharon. Carl was someone who seemed to be struggling when I last saw him. I hope that he is in peace now. Mommie Susie and Caitlin.

Extending deepest condolences to Carl's family and friends. I met and become friends with Carl when we were in the 6th grade together at Coldbrook Elementary School. We were both into Harleys then and couldn't wait to grow up and be in the wind. We lost touch off and on over the years, but always would run into each other from time to time like when we worked together during the summer of 76. I remember the mortgage burning party, like all times around Carl, always a blast. RIP my friend.

Dear Uncle Carl, Aunt Patsy,Brian, Tim, Jennifer & extended family: My heart breaks for you in the loss of my "little cousin". Memories of years ago when Carl Lee and I were little and visited each other's homes and the fun times we had will live forever. As Mommy always says, "No parent should ever have to bury a child." My thots & prayers are with you all at this time and in the days to come as you learn to live with the empty place his loss has created. He'll always be with us in spirit. God be with you all. Love forever, Diann
