Sorry to lose my cousin Carl. Distance away and life’s circumstances kept me from knowing Carl, but I always heard that he was a wonderful man. I am proud of his Service to or Country as well. I wish the family peace and love. Ronnie Bottorff, son of Helen Colhour.
So sorry for your loss. Carl was one of the good ones like the rest of your family. Really enjoyed visiting with him the last few years while we were in Stewartsville.
So sorry to the family for your loss. I met Carl in 1960 when i started my Junior year of HS at Stewartsville. I just remember him being a very quiet, respectable man. I was in his brother, Wayne’s class and did not know Carl as well as Wayne. Sympathy to the family
