I just want to say I am so sorry to hear of carls passing. I met him here in Mooresvillle a few years ago. His parents Howard and Lula Keller was our neighbor. I remember them talking about Carl and how proud they were of him. They would show us kids his picture. He was a very special person raised by two special people.
Shannon and Patrica, we are so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. Mom and I always enjoyed talking to him at different restaurants around town. He was a great man. Now he and Mary are having a conversation with Mom and Dad in heaven. Take care of each other. ❤️🙏🏼
My deepest condolences to Trish, Shannon, and David. Your father was one of a kind. Knowing, and working with him was such a great pleasure.
He was so proud of his daughters, as well of his grandchildren.
