I best knew Carl via his Carpet Care I business. He was so accommodating of my tenant needs and my business needs for “creative” carpet cleaning services.
Carl and Cindy made a great working team–always good spirits and a good time.
My special condolences to Cindy.

I was so glad to run into Carl at The Legion in Perry a few months ago. He has been a friend from many years and all through PRHS. Carl was a character when he was young and there was never a dull moment when Carl was around. I have many memories of Carl and they almost always included a big laugh. Rest in peace my old friend.
Marc, Stephanie and all family/friends,
We pray for comfort during this difficult time for all family and friends. May the remembrance of his life be a blessing to each who knew him and may God grant you peace with his passing.
With love,

Stephanie and family,
I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. Stephanie I remember you and I having many good talks at the Peds office about our dads and what they meant to us. We both had special dads and I am sorry to hear about your dads passing. I too lost my dad and I wish I could tell you that the pain and sorrow goes away but 2 years later I still find myself with pain and sorrow at times. I will be praying for you and know that it will get better. Praying for peace and comfort for your entire family.

I will miss you Carl. I loved your smile and your ornery side of things. You were a good man and I appreciated all his help along with Cindy’s when I was sick. They would come over and help with my yard work and more.
I so sorry for your lose Cindy. Know that you have folks thinking about you and sending you good thoughts during this time.
Please accept my deepest sympathies
many sellers will choose to wallow in self-pity, but the fact is that even if you only bought 5 years ago, you could probably sell today and still make 70n80%.ma-y will come to regret their greed in trying to extract that small extra gain
