I knew Carl a long time ago. What a compassionate man he was, he was kind, caring and loving. This was when he lived with Sylvester and his mom. I am sure he will be missed by all his family but time will heal all wounds and pleasant memories will overtake. nancy morris howard

Peggy and family-I have many good thoughts about Carl this morning. He was a kind and giving man to his family, his community and extended community far beyond the borders of Lawrence. I always enjoyed his friendly visits at LHS reunions as well as in the grocery store aisle! I hope the good memories will give you all peace. Eugenia Leasure Bryan
