Judy and the entire Hecker Family
I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed seeing him. He always had a smile on his face and was easy to strike up a conversation with. He was so active I always thought it was great that he would attend so many of the athletic events.
Thinking of you all.
Love The Sager’s

what a wonderful amazing person Carl was. His influence on so many children will be with them forever. We spent many years connected to this family because of Mariners. My daughters were involved for years with them. They learned to twirl and march and about rules and hard work. All the while making friends. They traveled from Georgia to Canada with Carl and Gerry.i am saddened by the loss of such a wonderful person and thank his family for sharing him with us.
