My father was Randy Shields, Carl was a great friend of the family. I remember siting with dad and Carl would stop by just to say hi. We always enjoyed seing him and it meant the world to dad when he would stop by. He was a great man and will be missed. We are very sorry about your loss. Love the Shields Family

I dont remember uncle Carl that well. Just only that when Roger E. (my father) had picked me up when I was 7or 8yrs old and we stayed at Carls house. I do remember him being very nice. My deepest sympathy to his wife and children and grandkids..God Bless

Brenda, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I can't even begin to think what you must be going threw. If for some reason I can't be with you in person please know that my thoughts and my heart is with you and your family. I really can't put into words what I'm feeliing right now. I always had so much respect for your Dad, and he never failed to make me laugh and feel good. He always treated me like a real part of the family. I'll miss just knowing that he's out there some where being onery. How is your Mom? Let me know the arrangements and I'll try my best to get there. People say the pain and sadness fade with time. Maybe it's true but I can't see how it ever could. I don't know how your gonna deal with your loss and I don't know if I could. Please just hang on and don't let it all overwhelm you. Cindy
