Now AE has a delivery route in heaven. Carl and Betty are together again. Sympathies from an old neighbor on Urbandale Ave. I'm sorry I was unable to attend services.

Carl was our AE milkman the entire time I was growing up on 56th St. He was more than just a delivery man, he was our friend. Even after we had grown up and left my parents continued home delivery because Carl was on the route and they weren't going to quit until he did.
He'd come into our house and put the milk right in the refrigerator, then as he was leaving he'd look at us kids and say "Don't take any wooden nickels." He was a great guy. I'm very sorry for your loss.
