Hi everyone, my name is Rindy. I'm Carl's oldest grand daughter. My mom told me about all the things you all are saying about him and I had to come and see for myself. I am so touched by the things you have said. Of course, I know he was a special man, but it is truly inspiring to see how he touched all of your lives and to be a part of your experiences with him. Please, keep writing. Keep sharing. We can no longer hear it from him anymore, you are all his voice. I remember years ago, I must have only been 7 or so, I think it was his first restoration project- he had all the parts arranged on the table or drying on the floor or hanging from the ceiling in the basement. His little cycle shop in the basement. It amazed me then that my grandpa could BUILD a motorcycle. It amazes me now the people he ended up touching through his passion for them. I have always been and will always be so proud that he was my grandpa. Thanks again for sharing your memories. I love you grandpa, and I miss you Rindy
