Uncle carl was a great uncle. Never had a unkind word to say. He loved us all and it showed. He love to pick on us all the time. I did not get to see him as much as I would have liked. But her knew we loved him. I will miss him so much and his aggravating me. My heart breaks for the rest of the family.

Praying for your family. My condolences to the family. May Carl now watch over you all until you meet again. God Bless you all.
Carl was the best brother ever. My best friend, we are a close family and love each other more than words can ever express
He was good to everyone, and would do anything he could to help others,
When he met and Married Teresa, we saw him happier than he had ever been , other than when his Children were born, he loved both his Boys very much and loved his step daughter also. and truly loved all his grandchildren blood or not.
Only peace I have is he is now in Heaven free of pain and is with our parents.
I will love you Carl until my last breath and I will miss you beyond words, I still can’t believe you’re gone.
I struggle everyday trying to get through each day without you.
RIP and watch over us , until we meet again. 💔
Truly special man. Always loved seeing his smile when I came in the door for the last 20 years.Walking into to work will never be the same. He will always have a special place in my heart.
Carl was such a genuine soul! Always so caring and loving to everyone he met! Always made time to check in on our little family and we truly felt his love! My prayers go out to all the family for healing and peace! Much love from The Williams
Papa was one of a kind. I miss you so much. Aliyah just learned to say papa Carl we were so excited to show you. We love you papa more than anything please watch over us all.
Our heartfelt sympathy to family, friends and Carl’s FD family.
Uncle Carl was more than an Uncle to me. He made me feel like I was a son to him. Always so kind to Beth and I. Made sure you always felt welcomed and loved. He was the one I always would like to go stay with on a weekend getaway down to his house. Went on vacations with him before and we always had a great time. He always would joke that Beth was his girlfriend and he was gonna convince her to stay with him. I’m going to miss him so much. He was one of my all time favorite people in the world.

Locust Creek VFD sends thoughts and prayers to Carl’s family.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Carl, I know you believed.
I am still shocked about your passing. However I do know that you’ve made it to your new home in Heaven. I haven’t seen you in many years but you’re still family and I’m gonna miss you and miss seeing your Facebook posts of your beautiful family and words of wisdom. You’re one of a kind, thanks for being apart of my childhood memories.
I know Earth lost a wonderful human being but I know Heaven gained a wonderful Angel. Rest In Paradise Carl, we will meet again. Love you Carl.
I will truly miss the best step father and grandfather to my children that a girl could ask for! You loved us like we were your own and loved my mom like no other! I wish she would have found you sooner! GOD has a plan and we never know what it will be but he knows best and I know you are in the greatest place to be as this world is a mess! We love you and hope you know just how much you were loved and appreciated!
Carl, you will be dearly missed I am at a loss for words seems like just the other day you were with us on a fire call. Thank you for your years of volunteer service with Holly Grove and Locust Creek, if you see Ronnie and Becky at the fire ball in heaven please say hi, prayers for family through this rough time
DearTeresa, Eugene, Mike, Bessie, Ruth ,Norma and all of the family , our prayers are with each of you. Allen and I have many good memories of times with Carl many years ago. Many of you have heard the the story of his Duster and Allen breaking it. Carl would smile and say, well we gotta fix it,and we did. He was a great brother in law. The years went by and he married Teresa, I thank you Teresa for loving him so much. . We prayed so hard for God to heal him.But God has plans for him .Someday we will know those plans. Carl, go rest high on that mountain. We miss you ,but Heavens sweeter with you there. 💕
