Carl had a positive impact on my life by leading the "Disciple 2" Bible study at St. Marks UMC in Findlay. The class ended up consisting of just he and I, so we spent a lot of quality time together talking, praying and fellowshipping.
Sorry to hear of his passing, but happy that he is now with our Savior Jesus!

I first met Carm when we were neighbors on Goldenrod Lane in Findlay. He and his son Tim were shoveling snow off their driveway. Nicest person you will ever meet in your lifetime. Condolences to Leda, Tim and Lana. He was a good man and friend!
