you. I am so thankful that You and Carl shared some great times with Niel and me. You both are special friends. Bev I will be out of the country all next week. I will see you when I return. Love
I was saddened to hear of Carl’s passing. I always looked forward to seeing and speaking with him at the SPHS reunions. I grew up next door to his family so saw him a lot as a kid. He was a real nice person and he will be missed by family and friends.
Our sincerest condolences to the Family
