Visitation
Dear Lucille and family, please accept our deepest sympathy during this difficult time. Luke and I have so many fond memories of Carl. Luke always looked upon Carl as not only his boss but a very close friend and one he so enjoyed spending time with. We both will always treasure the times the guys would invite the wives to join them for an evening out for dinner. Please know we both have all of you in our prayers and are blessed to have had Carl in our life. RIP our dear friend.
Carl will be missed, will miss seeing him around wooster. My best to his family.
