Dale, Glen, Randy and Harry, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. Keeping your family in my prayers.
Glen and family, we are sorry for your loss and sending our thoughts and prayers.
We will be at the Diocese for Search this week-end and will be unable to be at the service, but you and your family will be in our prayers.
My heartfelt Sympathy for Mary and the Children, Carl was a very nice and friendly soul. I can remember he was restoring a truck for Bobby , was so particular he took it apart , sanded and painted it 2 or 3 times before he was satisfied with the results ,, Bobby really enjoyed his company .. I know he will be missed .
