Carl was a wonderful man of God. Never afraid to ltell anyone who listened about the grace of his savior. Sometimes a little gruff but always a gentleman. Handing out peppermint to everyone. When my sister passed he spent the afternoon with my niece helping her to set up everything. I miss truly miss you Carl.
He sure did a good job in every thing he done.
Carl was such a great person. He was loved by all our YMCA team and many of our members. He will be missed by us here at the Hickory YMCA.
