Carl left us too soon, the way he came into our lives, LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTENING. My favorite story about Carl was when we were at my dad's company Christmas party in San Onofre.  Here he was in a nice suit, and the next thing we knew, he was on the dance floor on top of a bunch of people. That's when he taught us the meaning of the word dog pile! Unfortunately, I never got to tell him that he inspired me to pull the same shenanigan at one of Andrea's  friends wedding. A bunch of young people having a good time on the dance floor somehow ended up on the ground. I couldn't help but to pull a Carl, so me in my dress, I took a flying leap in the air and landed on top of everyone. Lol. Carl loved having a good time, and after a good night of partying his favorite thing to say to make someone queasy was "WANT A GREASY PORK SANDWICH ON A DIRTY ASH TRAY" Carl, please know I will be there to support Selina & Cameron, and even though you left us way too soon, YOU NEVER WILL BE FORGOTTEN ❤

I have some great memories of Carl. Too many to tell about and some I shouldn't even mention. He was one of my best drinking buddies. I still have some moonshine from way back in the 80s around the house somewhere, I'll look for it and drink some in his memory. The best one happened during a company party we went to. People were dancing and a couple fell on the dance floor, Carl jumped on top of them and cried, dog pile. Everyone cracked up. Hope to see you soon buddy, until then, hang loose.

Me and my husband Myron have nothing but good memories of our time with Carl. He made things more interesting and we loved him very much. He was always held in high regard from our side of the family and we will all miss him. Thankful we have a niece and nephew to remind of us of him along with the countless memories. Thank you Carl 

Thank you for our two children Selina Michele and Cameron Alexander.  Thank you for loving my son George like he was your own child.   Until we meet again...Anna

Uncle Carl was an awesome guy and I had alot of good times and good conversations with him.  He was an influential person in my life from introducing me to pro wrestling to giving good life advice to being part of the reason I joined the military. He had a great sense of humor and was a goofball who was always the life of the party. He always had patience for me and was like an older brother also. I remember one time when he picked  me and George up at the movies in Temecula, he would pull up as soon as we got close to get to the car, so we would have to follow the car a little more. He did this a few more times before he actually stopped, it was a funny experience.  He just enjoyed life and making jokes and I'll always remember that about him. He and my Aunt opened their house to me for a year of high school and that meant alot. He always treated me as one of his own. He was a great father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend. He leaves behind 3 awesome kids that he loved very much and who had the pleasure of having him as their father.  I'll always remember him and so will anybody who knew him. The world is a less happy place with him gone, but we can all keep his memory alive by remembering how awesome he was. I know for one I'll never forget him and all the good times we had. I learned alot from him and I'll cherish those things forever. Thanks Uncle Carl for always having my back and having patience with me. You'll be missed always.
