To the Cherry family: You have our sympathy in the loss of Carl. We, here in Fostoria have grown to love Carl and are missing him as a regular at the Shepherd Center. A few years back he was on the Board of the Labor Management Council and as the Executive Directer I got to know him pretty well. Then when he got me involved in the Shepherd Center we spent more time together. A few of us have talked about trying to have a Memorial Service in his Memory here in Fostoria. Have any of you given any thought to doing that, and if not, let me know and we'll work on it. On the other hand, if you have and would like some assistance here is my email address: [email protected]
I know a lot of the people that are involved in most of the other organizations he was involved with so I would be honored to lend a hand in making some contacts! God Bless You!
