We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and a great friend. Carl always enjoyed their phone conversations and would say OK Boss at the end of the call. It was a pleasure to know such a kind and honest gentleman as he surely was.

I'll never forget when I had just gotten my license and my grandpa let me use his 90 Thunderbird to take to school daily. Well one day me, Joel and Caesar ditched and as we were exiting the student parking lot he was pulling in because he wanted to check on the car. I'll never forget how my heart just dropped and he jumped out of his car and I quote " Jonathan, you are breaking the law!!" with that Cleo southern accent, we nicknamed him the sheriff after that. He was always in control of any situation he was in and did everything the right way, he truly was the sheriff of the house. Grandpa you are truly missed, it hasn't been the same without you.

I have fond memories of our discussions of politics and history, really enjoyed the time we had. Also our visits to March Airforce museum, and the stories he told. What a wonderful man, I do miss him.
I remember when I was younger my dad took our family to calico ghost town. When he was not flying in the air force on trips around the world, he would take us sight seeing to different places. Anyway while we were at calico ghost town we went into a large mining cave. While we were in there, there was a loud voice that yelled, " fire in the hole, fire in the hole. " my dad took off running for the entrance of the cave. Everybody was stairing at him. When he realized that it was a false alarm, he turned around and walked back to us and everyone started laughing. He was so embarrassed.
