I have always looked up to him and to Wade and Carl Jr. Hugs to you both, my brothers, and may god bless you.

  8. Carl, Mary & Lorren

    So sorry to hear of your precious Daddy’s passing. I remember serving him and your sweet momma at Harbor Inn. They were truly some of the most precious people I’ve ever met. Thank you for the blessing of getting to know them. We love you please let us know if we can do anything for you.

    Love, Jody & Craig Reagan and Family

  9. Carl, We sure are sorry to hear about your Dad. When we last talked there was great hope and there still is even now greater hope – your confidence in the eternal promises of God Himself. Judy and I send our sympathies.

  10. Carl and Wade,

    I just made friends with Dorothy on Facebook and I had asked her about you two because I haven’t seen or heard from you in a long time. She said Carl Sr. died, and although i knew he was getting up in age by now, it still is a shock. It’s particularly hard when you lose that other parent and you realize you’re on your own. I still wrestle with my parents’ deaths, and it’s been 19 years for my father and 7 years this Easter Sunday for my mom.

    Know that I will light a candle at St. James in memory of your dad and in honor of you guys. And you will be in my prayers always.

  11. Dear Wade & Carl,
    It was an honor and a privilege to know your father. Please take great pride in the fact that he was such an honest and truly wonderful person. There aren’t near enough people like him in the world today.

    With much love,
    Laura
