Carlton was my brother in law but was there for me when needed. He and I had a thing when things got though, he would say “so” and I would say “ a needle pulling thread”. It was our way of saying it is not that bad or don’t stress out. I will miss him. Love to all and especially Emma who shares the loss of a husband we loved, in our way, greatly.
Carl was my Brother-in-law…He would do anything for you, he did
Care if you paid him , he was still

Your love Lord….takes a long time to get over husband, ..if ever..
His children, they have one heck
Of a Dad..the longing for his presants, just the wanting to call

I love them all very much and only the best for them…
