He was a loving and much-loved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He found and brought joy to every occasion.

I am so sorry to hear of Louis' passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Reading Rev. 21:3, 4 and John 5:25 have always brought me comfort, and hopefully will do the same for you.

We met when he started work at the VA. I was his preceptor. We became great friends while working together. It was Carl that encouraged me to continue my education in the BSN program. We had many study sessions and projects. We also visited each other at our homes. It was a long friendship. He was a facebook friend to Ron, who kept me up on all the news in his life. I know we will miss him, he was a wonderful friend kind, generous, caring and compassionate. We enjoyed every moment with him, Bebe and his mom. Bebe was so little when we met and is now a beautiful mom herself. Our hearts are broken and will always remember Carl as the wonderful person he is. With great love, sadness and respect we send our deepest sympathy from Ron and Paulette Henson.

I want to send my condolences to Carl's Mom, Sisters, and extended family! He was a few years behind me, but always the laugh of the party in his youth group at the church where we grew up. Later, Carl and worked at the VA Medical Center at the same time. I never ran into him when he didn't offer me a big smile and positive words. He was a kind, funny, loving and gentle man. As I sat at home tonight making plans to attend services for Carl tomorrow, I realized that they will be in the same Chapel at Roller Chenal where services were held for my daughter just three short years ago. With that I realized that it would be too difficult for me to attend the services. To the family, I Love You and am praying for you during this time. I hope you can take comfort knowing that Carl is in his Heavenly home. God bless each and every one of you! Loretta

Dear Carl,
I miss you so much!! No one to sing tunes with. No one to have my back at work. No one to look out for me at work. You held me up and comforted me through the pain and grieving of the loss of my Grandsons and my daughter. You were always there with you Loving heart, wisdom and caring that someone not from here would share! You never 'left me 4 wheeling in the mud'- in our own way we were bookends. No one to whistle Todd Rungren songs with. You fill my heart friend. We are more alike than not! Love Trey, Bebe, Finn, your sisters and 'Momma'. I want the computer to the left of you when I get there!!!💋❤️💔

I was very sad to hear of Carl's passing. He and I were in the same BSN program and I, like others, smiled so often because of things he said or did. I certainly appreciated his dedication to nursing. He will be missed.
