Carl and I were neighbors! He was a remarkable man! Our bridge group taught him to play at 90 years old! My sincere condolences go to Peggy and their children.

When I worked at Sancerre he was my absolute favorite resident. We would always talk about bird houses or what drama was going on. I remember he stopped me one day and took a picture of me. He said he wanted to remember the best nurse. He will be truly missed. Myself and family send his wife and family our love and condolences.
