Happy 99th Birthday Daddy

I remember Uncle Carl as that quiet member of our family who always seemed to be busy making sure we were all comfortable and taken care of.
For years, Aunt Hermine would lead her sisters in preparing the holiday fruit cake. When we sadly lost Aunt Hermine, Uncle Carl started sending fruit cake. Although the cakes were not as good as Aunt Hermine's, it was a beautiful gesture!

I loved Uncle Carl . He was always there for me at the right time and in special ways. I think he taught me the gift of quietly understanding a persons need and providing the right the right thing at the right time. He was a strong influence in who I am as a person. His greatest gift to me.

Uncle Carl was a great man. Very giving and selfless and always put others before himself. He helped to make my childhood special. He is greatly missed.

Uncle Carl you are forever in my heart. Since I was a child you were always there for me and I will always remember you unselfish generosity. My fondest memory will always be "the watermelon". If it wasn't for those darn jug handles and circles in New Jersey that watermelon would have made it back to Long Island.

I write this for my mom (Elaine Lowe)...
You were the best brother-in-law. I miss your company. I keep your and Hermine's picture on my nightstand so I'm always reminded of the love you both shared.

Uncle Carl...I am saddened to just find out that you have transitioned over. I am blessed to have been named after you, by my father, your brother Lorenzo!. Im also glad that we spoke when Lorenzo came to visit me in Maryland. I know the two of you are in the Lord's care now. May the Lord keep your family strong. Peace.
