I had the pleasure of assisting Carl many times in my previous job. He was such a nice and wonderful man and he always found a way to make me smile. After finally realizing that he was related to a coworker (Donnell) the bond I had built with Carl became that much more special. He will be greatly missed by many. Thank you Carl for all the funny jokes and small pranks you pulled.. I will forever remember them and you.

How can i say goodbye? I hate them. But the Bible says we are not to grieve like those who have no hope. God will raise them and with a loud command we will join them in the air. Uncle scottie we loved being loved by you. Now we will be reunited with you and it is going to be amazing.
