Remembering Cousin Carl

A sad message came to us, as we heard about Carl Kingsley's death on March 3 at Sanctuary Hospice House. Services were held in the chapel of Holland Funeral Directors March 6. Carl's write-up was so impressive, most particularly his service to our country, as a veteran of World War II. He was honorably discharged from the Navy Sea Bees and served as president and vice commander of the Tupelo Chapter of the VFW. He was active in the American Legion. A master mechanic, he graduated from Itawamba Community College in air conditioning, heating and cooling and appliance repair. Thoughts will continue to go to all the family, particularly his three daughters, Linda Culpepper, Sandra Curtis and Evelyn Baldwin. George's computer reminder of his errands had 'call Carl' or 'check with Carl' listed many times.
