I knew Carl when I worked at St. Luke’s Hospital In the ER. He was a very nice person, and a Good Police Officer. The late 60s were a difficult time, and Carl was alway’s a very pleasant person. He will certainly be missed. My condolences to his entire family.
Deedee and Dave,,
Deedee, I’m so sorry to read of the loss of your father. He must have been an amazing father and loving husband to have raised and nurtured such a beautiful family. You and Dave have often been in my thoughts through the years. I’m sure your dad was extremely proud of you two and your beautiful girls. Gods speed to your father and his blessings to you and your family.
