I’m so sorry to hear about Carl, but he’s a better place and I’ll always remember him driving around at the parade in Green Bay. Such a nice fella. Rest In Peace Carl.
You have my deepest condolences in your loss of Carlton. From previous condolences he seemed to be an amazing man loved by so many. He will be truly missed by those who knew him. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah knows the pain and loss that you are feeling at this time. He has promised a beautiful Resurrection soon to come. That promise can be found in the Bible Book of Revelation in chapter 21 and verses 3 and 4. This may bring you some comfort.
I am so sorry to hear of Carl's passing - I worked with Carl at Westinghouse around 1980's. He was a great manager - Prayers will be sent to his family during this difficult time.
It has been a honor to know this amazing man Carl has been loved by all his family and friends. Carl always full of fun, laughs, quick witted. I always felt comfortable calling him dad or pop cause he was a close family member to me and my family . You be missed by everyone but you had 90 years hear on earth and now you can spend eternity with our Savior and Lord . Till we meet again 😘

Papa - I am so honored to call you my grandpa! I am truly blessed in every way. You have given your best to our family and have shown all of us what unconditional love is truly about! I have been blessed with so many wonderful memories, including the honor of you and my Uncle Tom walking me down the aisle at my wedding. This is and will be my favorite forever memory! Emma and Maxwell love their “Papa” and Jon and I will make sure to keep your memory alive by telling them all the wonderful stories we have created with you. There will never be a day that I will not think of you! I love you papa and I want you to know that you light up my life! Your Granddaughter Stacy
May he rest in peace. Will always remember his quiet humor. And so grateful that he and the family came to visit us in Ore. Several times. Ross still talks about going with him to the packer football field. Love you Uncle Carl.
