April 11, 2014 at 11:25 amCarl sat behind me at Plummer School and we would trade lunch sometimes. Even then he was a caring person. Have not seen him since 1947 but will always remember him.
Prayers to the family.

April 12, 2014 at 6:57 amIt was nice getting to know Carl and Carolyn during these past few months. Carl was nice man who never had a bad word to say about anything or anybody. My memories of Carl will always include picturing him sitting on the couch with his faithful dog, “Little Bit” curled up beside him and Carolyn seated nearby watching over him. Carl was a Christian man of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and we have comfort in knowing we will all see him again someday when we cross over. I feel blessed to know him. I wish comfort and peace to all who grieve his loss.
