I am truly going to miss you Carl. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know you over the last seven years since joining the family. You were always sweet, charming, and funny. It's going to be hard not seeing you for the family gatherings, but I know your presence will still be felt. Over the last few weeks, Laura and I would continue to share memories about you.
Both she and I remember one particular story - A couple of years ago we had just moved into our new house in New Jersey. Before you and the family had arrived we were rushing to finish cleaning and put the final touches on the decor. Just minutes before you and the family arrived I rushed to hang an oversized picture on the wall. Clearly, I had no idea what I was doing. It seemed I chose some arbitrary spot on this wall without any consideration whatsoever.
Then the doorbell rang. I finished hammering the nail, quickly hung the picture, and ran to put the step ladder away. Finally, out of breath, I answered the door and welcomed you and the family into our new home. As everyone entered the doorway and began to take off their coats, Laura asked what everyone thought of the picture I had just hung up. Most of the fam looked at the picture and said "oh that looks great". Everyone except for Carl.
I am paraphrasing here, but we remember Carl was the only one who was honest. He basically said it looked "stupid" and "it wasn't even". He wasn't demeaning, overly critical, or harsh - no no-no. It was honest, on point, and really funny. He was absolutley right and we loved him for it.
It's funny how little moments like this will live forever in our memories. And we're lucky to have an endless amount of these memories that will live on. Thank you Carl for the family you helped raise with Nana. In doing so, you helped connect me with my beautiful wife Laura and my two children (your great grand children) Olivia and Preston. Rest easy Carl - you will most certainly be missed.
Love Always,
Grant Eckert

When I was growing up I loved visiting nana and poppy’s house. One of my fondest memories was when poppy would bring out his coin collection. I remember him gazing over them and taking them out and showing them to me and how proud he was of them. I thought that he must have traveled all over the world to have such an amazing collection. Lol! Each one had a story to it and I loved hearing about them as he would take them out one by one and taking about them!
Dear poppy, you will be dearly missed and I am forever greatful for all the fond memories I have with you. I love you and wish I could hug you right now!

Poppy,
You are so loved. I have so many memories of my childhood... playing Rummy, sitting in the recliner chair watching shows, fishing... what a great poppy you were! I love you so much and you will be so missed. I can’t help but feel we always had a love and connection and I will cherish that forever. Until we meet again - love you!

Dear Carl,
Missing you every day. You were always available to provide information and help for my home projects when I called and I could always depend on your support and the loan of tools. I frequently recall our conversations over lunch at various restaurants in the area. We had many backyard parties when our children were celebrating birthdays, communions, confirmations, graduations, and later in life, parties after their marriages. You were always a big part of everything important in life.
The world was a nicer place through my knowing you. I always felt blessed for having you as my friend. Many good memories. Your friend, Ray

There are so many treasured memories we have shared and you have been such a big part of our family life. You will be sorely missed, countless holidays spent together, many tasty meals you made (especially noted) is your refrigerator cake and your delicious london broil. You were always so much fun to be with and I always admired your love for your family. We could always count on you Carl, to help us out with our construction projects. You were a wonderful brother in law and such a hard worker. I miss you so much and it will be such a loss not to have you with my sister when we go to visit. I love you dearly and will pray for you everyday of my life. All of my love, Brenda

even though now you are in a better place, I will always enjoy thinking of the fond memories - the famous "sinking" boat ride, "Sound of Music" nite in New York, dinner at "Links Log Cabin" and on and on.
You were always such a kind and good person, and now you have wings to prove it!!
Love,
Kevyn

Poppy, we miss you so much. Still cannot believe you are not with us, but we know your memory will continue to live on. You always had us laughing, especially when you were giving nana a hard time. You genuinely were a great person and cared so much about your family. I always loved coming to see you in New York, and I am so sad I won’t be able to see you again. Charlotte doesn’t fully understand that we won’t see you again, but she continues to pray for you every night it makes me smile every single night. I love you and will miss you so much! I know you are in heaven with God and you are doing great- chai teas, breakfast sandwiches, Chinese, massages, and watching old westerns and of course watching all of us and keeping us safe. We love you! Ashley

Dear Poppy,
I miss you so much and I’m so glad I got to see you over Thanksgiving. I have so many great memories with you and will always cherish them. One of my favorite things about you is how you always made me laugh. I wish you would have been able to meet Madison but I know you will look over her. We love you so much. Love, Amanda, Adam, and Madison

Dad, you are a great father. You were always there when you were needed, without hesitation and always with love in your heart. There was nothing you couldn’t do and you taught me everything. I owe everything to you. My father, my mentor and my favorite super hero. You are missed.

Carl I can’t believe you are gone I was really pulling for you and I kept telling everyone don’t give up on you. You were a tough man and you would beat it. You gave it your best. I am only glad you are no longer suffering. I will greatly miss sitting in the living room with you Saturday mornings watching old westerns and the way we would clown around when we were together. You rest easy my friend until we see each other again (and I will bring a beer) I will continue to help and look out for your family. JIMBO

My dearest Carl, forgive me for not being able to be with you before you left us and went to be with God. My heart is so empty and broken. I can’t bear you not being here with me. You took such good care of me and now you are gone. I know you are near watching over me and keeping me safe til I am with you again. I love you with all my heart and know we will be together again someday. I can still feel the last time you held me in your arms and told me not to worry and that you would be alright. I know you are now Carl because God is holding you for me and there is no more sickness or pain. Stay close to me always until we are together again. I love you so much. Melissa

Dear Carl,
I am blessed to have had you as my Father in law. You are a great man. We shared a lot of good times together. You taught me how to fix and install things around the house. I enjoyed our many trips together, sightseeing in St. Louis, Branson, Scottsdale, Tuscan, Sedona, Memphis, California and Dallas. We always had a fun time. I have fond memories of having Brandy at my house near the fire pit.
I’m glad we got to connect before you went to heaven. It was good to hear your voice, especially when you said I have a nice family, and you loved me. I love you too.
Rest in peace, you will be greatly missed.
Love Jeff

My dear Dad, you are so greatly loved and missed. There’s a new big bright red cardinal hanging around our home now. He arrived a week after you went to see God. I just know it’s you checking in. He comforts me, puts a smile on my face and lets me know everything is going to be okay. I am so thankful for all our memories. When I am down and missing you, I tap into those memories and I feel you around me. Some of my favorite memories are when I was young and I was helping you do something in the house, Amityville beach, family gatherings, Christmas and our dinners. You just loved them so much. You were a wonderful father, a man with integrity, loyal and true to your word and I admired you so much. I miss your hugs and pat on my back. I love you so much and like I promised you, I am taking good care of Mom. You would be so proud of me. Forever in my heart and mind. :) goodbye for now Daddy. See you in heaven.

Uncle Carl-
As a husband, father, grandfather and friend you touched the lives of many people. There are so many fond memories of you while growing up. From Queens to Long Island and all the family gatherings in between you were a great part of our lives. Who could forget you yelling "Bear" while hiking and camping @ Burlingame, you were the full Monty !
Rest in peace Godfather, you are gone but not forgotten.
Love, Raymond
