Carl was truly a 'good man'. He was the good friend of my father,and, really, our entire family. Warren Boyle, our father,who also died at 90 years of age, had some really good adventures with Carl, and Carl was always ready to help Warren at various times. We felt like he was part of our family, and my uncle John (pinky) especially liked Carl. I had tried to call Carl several times in the last couple of years, and didn't realize he had passed away til this morning. Our family has a lot of good memories of Carl, and may he rest in peace.
