I just found out that Carl has passed away, I never personally met Carl, yet I spent many hours over the years on the phone with him, working in produce for Kroger. He was tough on the outside, but I could tell he wasn't on the inside. I am so sorry to hear he is no longer with us on this earth, but his spirit will remain in the hearts and souls of those who loved him and admired him. My sympathies to all the Markel family for the great loss you have suffered. May God help you to heal.

I never knew a buyer who yelled at me louder...and cared about me more than Carl.  

He expected a lot from his suppliers and we gave him more because he gave it back. 

Prayers to the family.

So many fond memories of Carl along with those he loved Laurie, Robbie and Michelle.  Carl was already ready with a funny saying or surprise to make you laugh.  For me these memories started when our children shared time in pre school to an episode when this proud gardner learned he feed his cherished hillside garden with weed killer.  We had a good laugh about that one. So glad I was able to know Carl.  My love and sympathies to Laurie, Robbie, Michelle and the Markel family.

Carl was a "UNIQUE".  He touched my life over and over again throughout the years I was fortunate enough to know him.  A true giver in a most modest way and never expecting to get anything back.  He will be so missed.

Sorry to hear about your loss. May God give you strength, support and comfort during these difficult times. Be assured of his deep love and concern for you. 1 JOHN 4:9, 10,19.
