We have had a great family friendship with you, Carl, for many many years starting wayyyyy before you moved to Vegas.    We loved your funny stories, your kind nature, our holiday visits, and your hilarious Christmas cards! So glad we were able to celebrate with you on your 80th!!  Love you forever, Carl.  We will all miss you. 

Doyle and I will miss seeing you on the dance floor rest in peace buddy, until we see you again, dance away with all the angels, I can see them lined up already

Thanks for all the dances Carl. We will two-step and swing again one day. . Rest in peace.

I'm still emotionally in denial. I've known Carl since 1965, and was crazy about him from that moment! He had an amazing personality to go with his good looks. One of the first times I met him he came to my parents house to pick up a washing machine.he had jeans on and a white T shirt. Lindy and I were glued to the window raving about the gorgeous man in our driveway. My mom came to the window to see what we were talking about and she stayed too! We all were in awe
He took me to breakfast one time when I was in Vegas and put his name on the list finally after 20 minutes they called Wayland! He waited s minute and said that's us! I said what?? That shows how much personality he had. 
He had so much heart too! He got really emotional one time telling me the story of a little country dancer who died from cancer. He drove her back and forth to her treatments and stayed with her!  Carl we all loved you! You will be missed terribly! 
I suspect you are tearing up the dance floor in heaven! And it's true God gained the best Cowboy ever! Until we meet again rest well my friend ❤

Our Dear Friend Carl Erickson,Swede Cowboy Carl , So full of life always; a great friend for about fifty years, So many memories, We spent many Christmas together with family and mutual friends, We have such wonderful memories of those times together, We Love you Carl and we will miss you always ❤❤ Maynard and Lindy Mueller

Swede.... I was fortunate enough to work with you for many years at the City of Orange Water Department.  You were a great friend and a wonderful guy to work with.  You always tried to be fair with the field guys and your thoughtful and warm spirit always shined through.  You made us laugh and were always respectful and professional.  I don't know if God has welcomed a better cowboy in Heaven....Godspeed
