Hi Aunt Pauli, hard to believe Uncle Carl is gone. I’m going to miss how he always made me feel special and loved, he was one of the kindest men I know. I don’t ever remember him raising his voice. I will remember how he always looked at you; you could tell you were the love of his life. Mom and I were just talking about the days when we spent so much time with all of you and how much I miss that. We were also talking about how we came about calling you Aunt and Uncle, I told her you and Carl were both closer to me, Karmen and Scott then some of our own Aunt and Uncles. I want you to know that your family and especially you have inspired me with my faith, and how much I love and appreciate that. Uncle Carl had the most beautiful blue eyes and smile that I will always cherish and he always gave great hugs.

our hearts hurt so much for you. I know the love you and Carl shared was so special. You came into our lives Pauli just when we needed you the most. You became my sister. I can’t thank you enough for what you did for Ron’s mom, you were an angel. Now you need all your friends that love you so much to gather around you with love and hugs. I wish i could be there. When we come home I will be there for you. We love you so much. Even though we didn’t know Carl, we knew he must have been a great man to be loved by you.

Hello Pauli, It seems strange to reach out to you now. We want you to know how much Sandy and I admired Carl and you. John called and that set off a flood of Carl memories. He and I were similar in so many ways, he loved movies and his wife. So do I. I hope he saw “Trouble with the Curve” before he passed. He would love it. We are not going to make it to Carl’s function this Saturday, but we love you very much and we will be thinking of Carl often. All of our love, Ozzie and Sandy

The fondest memories for me of my “pretend Papa” took place in many a concession stand. He was a hard worker and expected us to work just as hard. And, he was always fair. I learned much about work ethic those days – so valuable! But, mostly what I learned from Carl is what it looks like for a man to treasure his wife. It was the stuff of sappy romance novels – and every girl’s dream! What a precious example he left for his family and a precious gift he gave daily to Pauli. Simply beautiful. A life well lived.

When I was growing up and hanging around with Paul in the 70s and 80s, it seemed like everyones parents were also your “adopted” parents, sharing in your successes and always willing to set you straight or offer some life advice. Carl certainly contributed to my growth and who I became by the things he would say to me as well as the example he set. Mrs. Riedel, I am sorry for your loss and know that my prayers are for you and your family.

TRUE STRENGTH (from his blog morethanalist.blogspot.com) My Papa Carl passed away earlier this week. He will be sorely missed by all those who he left behind. We will all miss having to yell when speaking with him because he was too stubborn to wear his hearing aids. We will miss the way he smiled when something struck him funny. We will miss his tender hugs and gentle spirit. While my Papa will be missed by many no one will miss him as much as my Nana, the clear love of his life. Perhaps the hardest part of this whole week has been seeing the absolute sorrow and anguish my Nana has experienced with his going to be with Jesus. I have never seen anyone experience such deep emotional pain as my Nana has this week. Yet through it all I have seen more strength in her than imagined. This strength is seen not in holding back tears, but in letting them flow. This strength is seen not in holding back anger, but letting everyone know how angry she is he went without her. This strength is not seen saying everything is okay, but in expressing the deep sorrow and grief that words cannot even express. This strength is found in sobs, and runny noses, and lots and lots of tears. For his grace is sufficient, and his power is made perfect in our weakness, and this verse became more real for me this week as I have seen my Nana grieve. Through every tear, through every moment of feeling overwhelmed, through every moment when my Nana doesn’t know how she will make it to tomorrow his power is made perfect in my Nana. It takes strength to hold back emotion and stand up, but it takes an even greater and far more admirable type of strength to let the tears flow and emotions run raw. For it is in this type of showing weakness that true strength lies. It is in this type of pain where His grace truly is seen as sufficient. So Nana when you cry you are not weak. When you sob and cannot even express the anguish you feel you are not weak. When you cannot say anything good, when you are angry, when you are sad, and when you cannot see how good could come out of this you are not weak. By feeling pain, by letting the tears flow, by showing us all how much you miss Papa you have shown us how strong you really are, you have shown us how His grace is sufficient to get you through today. You are not a discouragement when you are grieving. No you encourage us and show us that it is okay to grieve with you; it is okay to feel deep pain, and anguish, and sorrow because you show us how Jesus is taking care of you even when you yourself cannot see it. By hitting the end of your rope and finding where your own strength runs out you have shown us where true Strength is found. So here’s to you Nana. The strongest woman I know

Pauli, We are so, so, very sorry to hear of your loss. We worked with Carl for many years in the USSSA community and he was always a gentleman in every aspect, sincere, loving and just a great guy! We will miss him very much. Keep your chin up, we love you too and think of you often. People lose touch with each other over the years due to the busy, hectic world we live in, but we never forget the ones we love and cherish. You were always by Carl’s side and were just as loving and caring as he was. May God keep you in His care always. Stay busy, it helps one to recover. Love to all. Patty and Joe.

Many of you may remember Carl Riedel, National Mixed Program Director, USSSA Washington State Mixed Program Director and softball enthusiast. Carl was a devoted member of USSSA Washington State for many years, began the Mixed Program here and developed the National Mixed Program to what it is today. Carl will be sorely missed by all of us. May he rest in peace. Our condolences, prayers and thoughts go out to Pauli, his wife, and all of Carl’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We know how much you all will miss him and so will we. Carl was a very intelligent, warm-hearted person and an asset to all who met him and worked with him.

Never a man that loved another like Carl loved Pauli. He was an inspiration to those that knew him, and I personally learned a great deal from Carl. Dry sence of humor, but oh so smart. Wouldn’t let go of anyhting once he got ahold it, and a pleasure to watch play the game of softball. My condolences Pauli, and I am sorry that we grew apart over the years. Sincerely, Rog

Carl was a very generous guy, who always went along with Pauli’s plans, my dad once said he was the Ricky to her Lucy. It takes a big heart to love that much. Prayers for peace for your whole family, Leann
