Part,
Dear one, I am so sorry for your heart brokenness. I pray that God can comfort you day by day, week by werk, month by month and year by year. I am older and a bit forgetful but I think that Carl and Jerry were in the National Guard together. I just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts and prayer and I care because you are hurting so.❤

I worked closely with Carl for around 10 years at Arnold AFB. He taught me a lot of common sense things as a young Engineer about how things are constructed. I am grateful for his mentoring, and he helped me to become a better Engineer. He was a good man and he will be sorely missed. For Bates, Vicki, Cole, Corrie Anne, and the whole family, I know this is a difficult time and I pray for God’s loving comfort for all of you. Always cherish the memories you have made together. May God bless and keep you.

Carl was an outstanding man with so much to offer. I think of him when I see my fish pond. My heart hurts for Patsy and the children and siblings. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
