Pace family,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you on your great loss. Jana, I am sure your daddy is watching over you everyday, probably telling you to take good care of your dogs... : ) I know this has been a hard situation to deal with, and I hope you always remember him as the great daddy he was to you! You are always gonna be a "daddy's little girl"...
With love to you and your family, my prayers go out to you all and may God give you the strength that you need at this moment.

Sandy, John, Jana ~
My heart is so saddened to hear of Carl's passing. I didn't know of this until Monday morning and wish I could have been with you all yesterday to see Carl and give each of you a big hug.
In all the years of working, Carl was truly by far the best Boss I ever worked for. Not a day went by that when I left the office for the day he always said "Thank You." That's the kind of man he was, always appreciative of whatever anyone did for or with him.
I feel like I grew up with the Pace family. I was only 27 when I started working with Carl, John and Jana were in grade school. By the time I left his employ I was already in my 40's with 3 children of my own.
My heart and prayers are with you all, may God speed in healing your hearts. The warm memories we all have of Carl will keep him with us always.

Word just sadly reached us that our dear neighbor of some 28 years has passed away. We will forever remember Carl out there with the kids and the snowmobile. He didn't go in despite the cold until every last kid had a ride on it. Then there was the time that our kids, John and Jana and the Daley kids got stuck in the mud. While the moms sank into the mud trying to rescue the kids, along came Carl who put out some boards to us so we could get some good footing. And here came Carl taking our hands so we wouldn't fall.

No matter the problem, Carl always appeared as if he came out of nowhere to be a good neighbor, friend and most of all, helper. His heart was always kind and generous.

Sandy, John, Jana, the Janc Family is so sad your hearts are breaking at this time. But you know, men, real men like Carl Pace go straight to heaven.

Much love and many prayers... Bob, Carol, Bob, Jr. and Therese Janc
