To the Weeden family, our condolences and sympathy in Carl’s passing. Carl enjoyed talking to my father years ago at the 896 Diner when he used to meet with a group of friends to have breakfast, and my mom and dad were always there (Joe and Wilma Phipps) until my father passed away in 2010. Carl also came to the ice hockey games because his grandson played with my son on the Hodgson team. Such a nice person. My mother sends her thoughts and prayers to your family.
