Dear Cheryl and Family,
Iwas deeply saddened when i learned of carl’s passing.
i was a customer of Carl’s for many years. i always
looked forward to his service calls. He was always
so efficient . I never had to worry that he would leave
any thing undone. many times he helped me with odd
tasks that i was unable to do. i will miss him greatly.
Just now read of Carl’s passing.. I was a customer of his and always enjoyed our conversations when he came by to do some work… my deepest sympathy to his family… you will be in my prayers…Rest in Peace, Carl…
Just discovered this sad news. We were clients of Bay Irrigation and always enjoyed chatting with Carl whenever it was time for him to visit our home. We too offer our (belated) condolences.
I miss you Dad. I’m trying to stay strong but I don’t know how to go through the rest of my life without you. Your advice, your jokes, watching Family Fued together, calling and asking about a sound my car is making, digging holes in the heat, listening to your stories about Vietnam and having you teach me to do manly things, like you and Mom always said im the son you never had. Haha. It hurts to think you wont be there if i get married again or buy my first house. I disappointed you so many times and you died before I could make you proud again. I promise to make sure the kids find your star at night and I promise to always make sure Mom is ok. Ill make you proud by loving my family so incredibly fierce, just like you did. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for being the Dad you didnt have to be. Thank you for being you. I miss you Dad. Youre in my heart forever
I am so sorry for your loss
Carl was a great friend
He helped me through various jobs and did work at my personal house. I will miss him
Cheryl, my condolences to you and your family. Carl was a wonderful man. I will miss his quick wit and great service. Carl was one of the few people left that you could leave the door open for and he would get his work done and you would never know he was there.
I am sorry to hear the sad news that Carl has passed away. i saw him only a few weeks ago when he was at my house to do some work. We’ve been a customer for more than 20 years. He was one of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with or met. He will be missed. His family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
My wife and I are so sorry to hear of Carl’s passing. He was one person that will leave a legacy of what it is to be a nice man. Such a lost at a young age. May he rest in peace.
