We are sorry for the loss of your Dad, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa and an incredible man. Missy was my best friend and Carl had become a good friend to my husband over the last 25 years. We called him "John Wayne", we kept in touch at the Healthcare Resort and Sunny Vista, always getting updates and cards - thank you people for working hard, taking care of him, and keeping us in touch. Carl was a strong, smart man, and a good father - he will be missed by his sons - best wishes - Alan, Tad, Quint, Mike, & Rob; really hope all is well with Fred & Jacob, miss Missy and will always think about the Willenbrocks,

Sincerely with love,
Steph & Greg
