Thank you dad for all of the memories we shared together. The memories that came in so many forms of emotion. Laughs, tears, joy, tears, love, and care of others. You gave me the greatest gift of all. You gave me life! Not just physically, Life in the form of emotion, feelings and love. What a time we had, i will never forget what you have done for me. Thank you forever. Your friend, and your son.

My deepest sympathies to your family. I remember seeing Carl often when I was about 4 or 5 years old, when I used to play with some of the neighbors children on the block. Carl was so tall to me and I remember him pulling up to his house in the neat police car as his dogs would bark happily to see their loving owner return safely home. He will forever live on in my happy childhood memories.
