I’ll miss seeing Mr. Carl around CFC. While I worked there as Youth Pastor he would, from time to time, grab me by the arm and draw me close to ask how his grandsons were doing and making sure they were acting right. Haha. He demonstrated a sincere love for his extended family that was a beautiful example for our church. He will be greatly missed.
