John and Charles, the Wells family are very sad to hear of Carl's passing. We are the children of Newton Edward Wells. We all have such happy memories and stories of Carl. He was an amazing man and respected by all. We send our deepest sympathy to all the family.

John and family
I'm sorry to be reading about your dads passing, I remember him being an avid can collector when we were in high school. After I got out of the military I would see him out on him collection route. He was a special man for sure and an even greater father. May God be with you during the upcoming days.

Dear John, Charles, Laura, and Matt: I'm so sorry to hear of Carl's passing. I have never forgotten his and Carolyn's kindness and attention to me and my brothers when our parents died. I still have a beautiful chest he made for me when I got married. I wish I could be there in person to pay my respects.
