Robin and family so sorry for the passing of your Dad , hold all your beautiful memories close to your heart, until you meet again 😢🙏
Carl was a special man that touched the hearts of everyone he knew. We were all so lucky to have him in our lives and he always added that special “little spark” to any occasion. Sometimes unintentionally and sometimes, intentionally. He always had a sense of humor about everything and showed kindness and caring to us all. When he was going to the park with Victoria when she was very small, he would kindly pick me up so that I would have the pleasure of seeing her and then Marcella and “The Boys” would meet us there, those were the days! There were so many times that we will remember with love forever. Condolences to All.
Chris, Xavier, and your family – I’m so sorry for your loss. There are no words to express my sorrow but I’m truly thankful for the opportunity to have met this great man. Sending my love and hope that the memories you share bring you comfort during this time. My thoughts are with you.
We’re so sorry for your loss, Cynthia and family. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.

He was my favorite Poppop we had a lot in common and that was cool, but I wish it lasted like longer. At least it was peaceful. I hope Poppop has a good time in heaven. He’s the best photographer I know of.
