Connie, Jan and family,
Heartfelt prayers to you on the passing of this wonderful man. You have the love and support of so very many people around you who have experienced the gift of your friendship.

I had some great uncles but none like Uncle Carl. A gentle man with a heart of gold who could walk the legs off you. You will be missed but not forgotten.
