I work with Debi at Rockwell and she always had such nice things to say about Carl. Both her and Tony will really miss him.
Tony and Debi, my heart goes out to you both in your time of loss. I am holding your family close in my prayers.
I wasnt fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time with Carle but I knew him enough to know he possessed a kind soul.
I believe that although successful in many of lifes instances, he was most successful in his personal quest of the death process. Carle ensured the if nothing else could be done, he would see to it that once he had passed on, that should Dorothy stumble – she would be amongst those who would catch her and keep her safe. To achieve this task, he endured the unwanted move from Florida with great courage, knowing that neither he nor Dorothy truly wanted to live in this colder climate. But his wisdom showed him of this and he made it happen.
During the service, my view was Tony, Dorothy, Carle and Debi. In this I saw the satisfaction and the success of his actions. With the task complete, he can now go home with no regrets.
Carle is one of, if not the most, unselfish and caring man I had the pleasure of crossing paths with.
His loss is one to grieve but always rejoice in the love and passion he bestow on those around him.
God speed Carle.
