We were at Camp Rodney with Carl and his family. We enjoyed getting to know them and have many wonderful memories of those years. My greatest memory is of Cheryl’s delight in pulling Jamie, our son, around in a wagon for hours, giving them both lots of joy. Our deepest sympathies to Michael, Barbara, Cheryl and the rest of your family.

RIP Mr. D; you have earned your angel wings. I attended Forwood Jr. High where I'd often see you in passing.

What a wonderful long life with so many accomplishments. I remember Mr. D. as my shop teacher in junior high school and as an active member of the church in Wilmington where my father was the pastor. I am still a wood worker to this day and still employing the the basic skills that Mr. D taught me. I still have my step stool too. Thanks so much Mr. D.
