    Sorry for your loss all. Had not spoken to Carl in some time. Always enjoyed chatting with him. He told me of the time he visited my grandfather, Freely Mundy, in hospital shortly after he started his ministry. My grandfather flipped a tractor going down the Lynch Hill in Martin Co. and broke his hip. Carl said Freely told him, "Young man, don't ever kick a John Deere tractor out of gear going down a hill." My grandfather survived and lived a long life. RIP Carl.

    Our hearts go out to Thelma and to Justin. Carl sometimes preached at our little church on Ramsey Ridge in Heltonville. But I had the privilege of knowing Carl for many years. I was friends in Vocational School with his son Danny and we worked together at Indiana Flower Shop and I also worked with his son John and rode to Crane with him. I had met Carl through both of them and also through his Grandson Justin that worked at LARC with my brother Rusty. You are all in our thoughts and in our prayers. God please bring comfort and healing to Carls family in their time of need.
