From a young age Carl loved his cars, in specific he loved Cadillacs. Once he got old enough to purchase his own car he made sure to keep him a Cadillac. He also loved his shoes and jewelry. He was one fly guy. Carl had a personality out of this world. He was sure to make a room laugh with his jokes. He was a stand up guy and didn’t play about his family. If he can help anyway possible just know he’s there, you can count on him.
