Carl Eddie will be missed by all who knew him. I will never forget when I flew to Chicago to see Louise with Carl. He said we would take stewardess to the back of the plane to have some fun! He had one of the best personalities around and my thoughts and prayers are with the Amyx family. Adam (Regina's Son)
