Tootie, Jay, Ed, Patty, and Doug. I'm sorry to hear about Carl. I will always remember Carl's sense of community and mostly his sense of humor. When I remember the wonderful neighborhood we grew up in, Carl and your family will always be a part of that memory. These many years later I can still hear Carls unique laugh and him singing funny songs. Carl was a great man and leaves a great family to carry on his legacy.

There are no words which can ease your mind nor your grief you are bearing. Carl was a part of Littlestown during the days that no one ever wants to forget. He will be sadly missed but know that while he is no longer sits at your table, he is now at God's house.
