As a funeral director in the Seattle area for many years with both Columbia Funeral Home and Washington Memorial, Carl was the one we called when we needed a top-notch musician.
Carl was a great guy to be around and was the ultimate professional. I, as I’m sure all of us acquainted with Carl through funeral service, will miss him very much.
