Pastor Carl was a kind and generous man, and our family feels so blessed to have known him as our pastor. He shared his knowledge freely, especially with my husband(blessing him with so many of his books, that he deeply treasures), and he and his family always made sure we had "family away from family" on special occasions like Christmas Eve and Easter when we were far from home (India). We hold such fond memories of our time with him at GRCC, and his love and ministry deeply touched our lives.
Pastor Carl also blessed us by dedicating our firstborn, a memory we cherish deeply. He was there for so many special moments in our lives, and the pictures (attached) from that day always remind us of the love and care he poured into his ministry.
Though we will miss him dearly, we find comfort in the hope we have in Christ, knowing Pastor Carl is now free from pain and we will see him again in heaven. Our love and heartfelt condolences to Kathy and the children as they navigate this difficult time. We pray they find peace and strength in the legacy of love he left behind.
