Guestbook

  1. Carl was so thoughtful, he would send me a Birthday card & he always sent us Christmas cards. He will be missed! RIP Carl

  2. Carlwas an awesome man. I had the priveledge to know him from the time my mom and dad bought the house next door to him. The fences conected. After I and my brothers grew up, our kids got to know him. My 2 sons spent alot of time at “grandpa and grandma’s”. So as they got older, my youngest felt it was his duty to check on Carl also. I may not be there physically but my heart is. Rest in peace Carl.

  3. Carl was a great guy, the Sundeen family played a big part in my childhood, growing up on Palisade street with them. I had so many great times with Bob and Donnie, too many to mention. Carl and Gerry were pillars of the neighborhood, Carl will be missed for sure. I had the pleasure of visiting with him a few times in recent years at Dillons as we were shopping. I stopped by a couple years back when he was outside picking sticks up out of his yard at nearly a hundred years old, what a guy!!!!! My condolences to the family.
