Cousin Carl was a very special person. So many great memories of Carl and the Cook family. So now he joins his wonderful wife Rosemary, his parents, his brother Anthony (BUDDY) and sister Gerry and all the rest. No doubt they are having a ball up there.

I had the honor and privilege of working with Carl when he was an inspector with the Dept of Labor and Industry. There was never a dull moment for anyone in Carl’s company. He was a great story teller and always so proud of his family. He never waivered in his faith or devotion to his family.
