    If you look in the dictionary under "Good Man" there is a picture of Uncle Carl. My husband, Carl, my sons (Carl) Joseph and Christopher, thought that he was the greatest man that they had ever met in their lives. I knew him as a man who truly lived a Christian life daily and not just on Sunday. He loved his Ruby with all his heart and was a great husband and father. Our prayers go out to all of the family, especially my beloved Aunt Ruby who has lost the love of her life. Love always, Toni, Carl, Christopher & Joey.
