"To all of Carl's family I send my prayers and sympathy. I worked with Carl for many years at Hormel's. I left in 1984 but he would often enter my thoughts. I remember him telling me about his beer can collection and how much he love Great Falls, MT. We had some great water fights at work....weren't supposed to but we did anyway. I have fond memories of a man who loved his family, worked his butt off for Hormel and was always fun to be around. Godspeed to my friend Carl and may memories of this fine man bring you peace. George Gottschall..... Carl's water fighting friend."
