I worked with Carl at Englking Pattern in the 1960s. He knew and worked with my father in the 1950s and always remember him to we when we met. A kwind Gentleman. My prayers are with his family and friends.
We will miss you, Uncle Carty! “There are far, far better things ahead than what we leave behind”– C.S. Lewis
Holding you in prayer during this time, Colleen. May you be enveloped in God’s loving arms and comforted by His grace.
I’ll always remember growing up on Pennsylvania Street with Carty and Colleen as our “across the street neighbors.” Such a sweet, kind man. I still remember him camping out in the back yard with us kids.. Sending up a prayer of thanks for him and wonderful childhood memories. Hugs and love to you, Colleen..
