Chris, we are so sorry about Karl, he was a nice man always stopped to talk when he was walking the dog and had a smile. All the neighbors will miss him. Glen really enjoyed his street rod when he drove it by. It sounded pretty Cool. They both liked old cars.
The only blessing is that he isn’t in pain and now at rest. God Bless him.
Hope everything is going OK for you and you are staying healthy through it all.
Love Anita & Glen

Dear Chris and family
So Sorry to hear of Carl’s passing. There are so many fun Memories
I have enjoying the times with You and Carl. John and I enjoyed knowing
Carl and being in Gyro. I remember when he took me for a ride in his little “Rod”
That was much fun and he went very fast. Carl could Master almost anything
he decided to do. He laughed and always had something to share with his
friends. Please let me know if I can be of any help in helping you through this
loss. It is not easy. Carl will be remembered as so Instrumental in the Seattle
Gyro Club, forming it and taking part in every way. We were so sorry to see
you guys move to Bellingham area. I know how much he enjoyed his new
home on the beach. I am happy to know he will be enjoying eternal life at the
Beach. God Bless you all and know he will always remain in our Hearts
Hugs and love Joyce Ford

Dear Chris and family,I was saddened at the news of Carl’s passing.
I was truly blessed to have him as a friend and fellow Boeing-ite. I still laugh, when I think of him showing me how to ‘get through the crowd’ on our way back to the bus at Husky games. Then doubly blessed, to find that Carl was such a good friend of Peter’s, when Peter and I married. The fun times at our home for our annual Christmas Party, and then to ‘meet up’ again at the beach.
If I can be of any assistance at any time, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Carl…
