We were thinking a lot of my brother, Carl and then we found out he passed away from this life. We will always remember the wonderful trips we took to Texas and watch you all grow up and the fun we shared. Even though there are a lot of miles between Canton and Texas the family ties will always hold us together. Just know we are here and our thoughts are with you all.

My deepest sympathies and prayers are with Steve, Abby and the Smith family at this difficult time. My fondest memories have always been visiting CJ, Doris and my cousins on Frauline Street as a child. I loved that environment so much, I built my home across the street from Carl 11 years ago. All who knew Carl will not be surprised to know he insisted on helping with the construction at 81 years old! I will miss my "porch buddy" and the many wonderful conversations we shared. One of the finest and most honorable men I have ever known. May his beautiful soul rest in peace.
