Carl was a fun, loving, spontaneous, courageous Father, Cowboy and Husband. There was never a time he did
not put his children and family first. Carl and Kathy met many years ago doing what they loved best, dancing, it was from that moment they were inseparable. He was her Cowboy and she was his Sunshine. Carl enjoyed horses, sailing, traveling, protecting our country, and having a good time with his wife, family and friends. No one was a stranger. There was never a time he was short for words, he enjoyed sharing stories of his past, sharing life experiences and dreaming of the future.

Carl you were definitely one of a kind. We always enjoyed the parties especially when it started to get dull and you would bust out Old country music that know one knew. lol. You will be missed and the stories we will always remember because of the oddities and fiction. Carl stand tall in front of MacArthur for you earned your way into glory. RIP.
To the family- I am so saddened by your loss. I had no idea Carl had passed. He was a great man. We worked together in recruiting, and we had our good days and some bad. I respected him but he may have not noticed. We had some jagged edges with the pressure we were all under during the time we served together. But in the end, I feel we separated as friends. Once in a while, I would call Carl out of the blue and we would talk and reminisce about old times. I miss his stories and laughter. May God Bless his whole family. Adios, my friend.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
