Dear Mary,
Reed,Cale,Ryan and I were so sorry to hear of Earl's passing.  His smile was as big as his heart. 
With sincere sympathy,
The Christensen Family

Mary & family
We were so surprised and saddened to hear of Earl's passing. We have so many great memories of both Earl and Mary. Earl, working with Dad with the racing commission, Mary being such a great friend to Dad, Earl and Steve being such terrific friends. We will all miss Earl very much and hope that time will ease your sadness. 
Sincerely,
Barb (Cefkin) Springer and Perry Springer and family

To the Carlson Family:
I was saddened to hear about Earl because he was really a part of our family growing up.  He was always part of our many and varied sports activities, and could do everything well.  He was also one of the bravest people I have ever met and endured his painful and ongoing kidney problems with good humor.  Among the many things I remember about Earl was his love for his Corvette, which did not really return his devotion because that thing was constantly in the shop.  It was a strange coincidence that he passed away on the same day we were having my mom's memorial reception--he was one of her favorites.  I am glad I got a chance to see him last summer during a high school reunion--same old Earl who always gave me the business!  We will miss him, especially my brother Steve, Earl's oldest friend.

Hi Mary, I am so sorry for your loss.  As you know Earl and I were best BUDS in Vet. school.  How fondly I remember our trips to Laramie to watch the Cowboys play and the hospitality extended by the Carlsons to Sue and me. I remember Earl and I cramming the night before a test sitting in the bean bag chairs, eating popcorn, petting our Goldens Penny Jones and Nicki and thinking to ourselves are we going to make it. I remember Earl trying to teach me how to ride a horse and rope a saw horse at our Vet. school parties.  He was a great guy, always had a smile, only guy that could call me ""DIRT"", and loved you dearly.  I am really going to miss my best BUD.  Take Care  John & Sue McQuown

Dear Mary and Family,
I was sorry to hear of the death of your husband. I pray your happy memories bring you comfort.
Sincerely,

I had the privilege to work with Dr. Carlson with the Colorado Racing Commission/Division of Racing Events for over 12 years.  I had the distinct pleasure to collaborate with Earl on a wide variety of issues related to greyhound racing regulation and safety.  He always put forth the extra effort with skill, insight and a positive attitude.  I will cherish the friendship we had and take comfort in knowing that the people of Colorado have benefited from his dedication to his work for the State.
Thank you Dr. Earl Carlson for a job especially well done!  We will miss you.

Dear Mary - I have been meaning to stop by and express my saddness at hearing of Earl's passing. I will miss seeing him and waving hi as I drive by. Sam and I will miss him.
We will see you on the 23rd,

I don't know Mary, but to her and to Tudy and Bev - the most sincere condolences from all the James Svedman family. Bev and Bill Carlson and my parents were friends for years, and I remember Earl as a tall, quiet, and very smart young teenager with a big smile. I'm so saddened to hear of his passing. He will be missed, I'm sure, by all.

Mary,
Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. 
We will always remember Earl as being by far the easiest going member of the extended families! A wonderful man indeed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you...

To the Family of Dr. Carlson,
We are so sorry to hear the loss of Dr. Carlson.   He helped so many of our animals. He had such an amazing talent with all the animals he was around. We were truly blessed to have known him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Regards,
Nyla Wilson and Kristi K. Wilson

I think I can Speak for everyone in the greyhound bussiness in saying we have lost a TRUE friend.
My condolences to all his loved ones and may you find some comfort in my prayers for you.

How sad we felt when we read a few days later that Earl had passed.  Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and all Earl's family.  We'll keep all of you close in our hearts.  Mike & Bette Sawyer

Mary, my thoughts and prayers are with you.  Hugs, Sheri and Magic

Mary - My heart felt sympathy for your loss.  Earl was a wonerful veternarian for the racing circuit but also a special person and a great friend.

Bev and family,
   I am so saddened to read of Earl's death.  Had hoped treatment would work for him.  Just being your son tells me he was a wonderful human being.  He will surely be missed all who knew him, both personally and professionally.  Bev, please let me know when you get back to Denton.  I will want to see you, and I know the rest of the craft ladies will hate to hear of your loss.   Love, Helen

We Sigma Nus are sorry to know of Earl-the-Pearl's passing. Rebuilding a small block Corvette with him and hanging out will always be our fond memories of a simpler time. The last time I spoke with Earl on the phone I could tell that the state of Colorado had a real caring advocate for the safety and health of animals involved in track racing and I'm sure the staff and faculty of CSU are as deeply affected by his family's loss as anybody like us who were fortunate enough to know and love the guy!

To Mary, Bev, Tudy, and the rest of the Carlson family.  I was very sorry to hear of Earl's passing.  I hope that the knowledge that all of you are in my thoughts will be of some little comfort during this difficult time.  Earl overcame so much and always managed to be so upbeat - it's hard to believe he's gone.  I'll never forget his ""rodeos"".  Know that he's in a better place & is w/ Bill, Gramma and Grampa.  Love to you all, Abby

Mary,
You are in my thoughts and I am so sorry for your loss. 
Dierdre

Mary,
Earl was one of the coolest guys and we'll think of him often.  We wish we were there with you, but the hugs and kisses we're sending will just have to do for now.  XO

Mary,
Please know that we are thinking of you and feel so bad about Earl's passing. From what you have shared with us, we know Earl touched many people's lives and will be greatly missed.
Love,
Linda & Earl

What a shock it was to hear this news. Please know that we're thinking about you and sending our love.

It was a privilege to know Earl as a former student and then as a colleague in the veterinary profession. He developed a reputation in the racing industry in Colorado for his honesty and professionalism. I shall miss his optimism and sense of humor. 
Thank you Earl.

Mary,
I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed by many!

Earl's life was a special gift to each person who knew him; a source of joy which will be a loving, lasting, treasured memory. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mary, Beverley, and each family member and friend. May God's love and peace surround each of you at this time and in the days ahead. 
                  Love, 
            Charles & Sharon Veazey

I had the pleasure of meeting Doc while working my summer job.  He was a very kind and sweet man who had a great smile that lit up the room! He truly cared for the animals he watched over. I am so glad to have met him and wish his family my sincere condolences.

Dear Mary,
Though I did not know Earl for very long, I feel lucky to have met and worked with him for a bit at CSU at the ORC. I enjoyed his witty humor and big smile as described in the obituary. I wish to express to you Mary and your family my sympathies for your loss.  Best wishes, Paula Vanderlinde

Mary -
I am so sorry to hear about Earl.  I had no idea that he was so sick.  He was such a tender man and so caring.  I am grateful that I had the honor of knowing him and going horseback riding with him.  Please, please, let me know if I can do anything for you now and in the future.  If you just need someone to sit down and listen, or to talk too, or go for a horseback ride, please give me a call.  My home phone number is:  223-8045, you know how to reach me at work.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  My heart is sad for your loss of your husband and your best friend.  I am sending you a huge hug - don't be lonely, call your friends.
Love,
Lynette

Earl's gentle manner and friendly face always made you feel at ease. I remember attending a Boltz function at the Carlson house...Carly and Cam (along with a bunch of other kids) were running around and Earl was just as happy as can be. Please know that Earl had an incredibly positive impact on so many people -- even in the brief moments like school functions. He truly will be missed.

I knew Earl as the big brother of my good friend Tudy (Susan) Carlson and the son of the most beautiful mom in the neighborhood, Mrs. Carlson.  Most of my friends' big brothers took great joy in harassing their little sisters and me, but I don't remember Earl ever doing anything mean to us.  It's interesting that the things we remember from our childhoods seem to carry through to adulthood, isn't it?  I was impressed by his character that came across clearly in the obituary.  He must have become a truly wonderful adult, and I wish I had known him.  I still picture Earl as a gawky 13-year-old, and it's a very fond memory.  I send my deepest sympathies and love to all of you.
Kristy Sanford Das

Earl was a true asset to our profession and community.  It is a great loss but during the short time on earth he reached the hearts of so many.  Our sincere condolence and prayers of support during this time.
cleon v kimberling

Mary: Linda and I send our prayers and thoughts to you and your family. Earl was a man of many accomplishments, but oh so humble. Once you met him he was your friend forever.
