Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.
I’m very saddened to hear of Uncle Carl’s passing. From my earliest memories as a young child, I always viewed him as strong yet gentle, always kind, generous, and easy-going. A truly good man who leaves a wonderful family legacy. May he rest in peace.
Claire & Carol –
So sorry for your loss and truly sorry that I cannot be there for the Wake or Funeral. He was an exemplary man and he and his wife produced the children and grand children I know. The world will miss him.
Claire/George and family,
We share in your loss, and offer up prayers for Carl and family.
