    Lee, Brent, Dalyce and all of the families. My condolences to all of you. Carl was one of those rare authentic, soul kind and giving human beings. I respected and was influenced by Carl as a young boy in a positive manner whether at family dinners or social functions that families enjoyed in the "old" GP. I am sure his memory will live on with that same positive influence for many more years!
