I was very fond of Carl. A gentle man who was very kind to me. I knew Carl through Unity Presbyterian Church. I sat next to him frequently. May he now enjoy the treasures in Heaven God has in store for him.

We were saddened to hear of Carl’s passing. He was such a gentle soul and is undoubtedly resting in the arms of the angels and joyful to be reunited with Carol. We have such fond memories of our days on South Center Street. What a blessing to have such wonderful neighbors❤️

Carl was my grandfather. He always loved visiting his grandkids, myself included. He used to hand-craft gifts for us like wooden toy cars, rocking horses, and even a bookcase. I was his roommate one summer in 2016, when I had an internship near Paris, IL and needed a place to stay nearby. We spent a lot of time together for those 3 months and I’ll cherish the conversations and advice he gave me.
