I had to take my time to find the words for this. Because every time I started writing my eyes would fill with tears. Its still so hard to comprehend and realize that you wont be around. I can honestly say this is the first time in my life that i have lost someone who i held so close to my heart. I lost my father when i was a baby, and up until about 6 years ago there wasn’t anyone in my life who i can say was a father figure to me. Feels like from the moment that I’ve met your family it instantly felt like my own. It was never a dull moment with you, always had everyone laughing, ( i kept telling myself, dont make this post too emotional! Carl wouldnt want to see anyone sad or in tears ... ughh somehow I definitely think I am failing at that right about now). You’ve set such a standard to me of what a real father and a husband should be like. It was always so admirable to me how you found time for absolutely everything and everyone, being a workaholic like you were yet still always being there for your wife and daughters. It didn’t matter what the task was , everyone could always count on you. Even tried to cater to the vegans in the family and chef up something yummy and creative haha! Talented, knowledgeable and yet always so humble. Your energy, and joy for life was inspiring and contagious to those around you! You are so loved and appreciated! I wont say “was”, because the impact you had on people will remain forever. I’m so thankful that i have had the chance to know you and be around you, i will forever hold on to all of the memories. We will all miss you more than you will ever know. Rest In Peace Carl, ❤️🙏🏼 We love you.
