To my other family (Sonya, Vicki, Tammy, and Jerry) , I was so sorry to read about my brother Carlos’ passing. Please accept our heartfelt prayers and condolences. We love you dearly…..
I’m always saddened to hear of the passing of another EHS mountaineer. May God richly bless you in your time of sorrow. Steve Simpson, EHS class of ’66.
Forever at peace, that is where Carlos is now, and may you feel the presence of God’s loving arms and His and Carlos’s spirit with you always.
May God’s love be with you in this your hour of grief.
I knew Carlos for several years at Y-12 and as team mates playing softball at Clark Park. He was always cheerful and a good friend. Carlos had his heart in the right place and genuinely cared for everybody.
I will miss my friend and take comfort in knowing he is in a better place. Peace to all and a hearty salute to the Carlos, the King of the Biscuit Club!
Dear Graves Family…We are so sorry for your loss. We will truly miss our “Brother” Carlos. We loved him very much. Know that we are fervently “praying” for you.
My Blessings and Love are pouring from my heart to Butch and the family. I cherish the days we spent growing up together, the ones spent as young adults and adults, and now the more “mature=60s” years. Family leaves us here on earth, but it is my belief that the soul lingers in our mist as “Guardian Angels”.
Butch is now one of the many Guardian Angels looking over each of you.
May God be with all of you at this time of your loss.
I worked with Carlos for a number of years at the plant. he was always helpful and never was without that great big smile. He was a great person and will be missed by all.
