Dear Rasks,

I light this candle for Carl, as what I remember most about him, was his ability to light up a room with his smile and make others chuckle along with him. He had a great spirit that lifted others up, and ingenuity that could inspire to think outside of the box. I, like other Wilsons, have the wonderful memories of spending time with Carl and his family during deer hunting season, when we'd experience story-telling, games, laughter, and comradery. During these times I came to understand what a great friend he was to my father.

Our most sincere condolences to the Rask family, he will be greatly missed.

Dear Rask Family,

There are too many memories to count of our times together. Some of my best childhood memories include you all. Carl was always kind, loving, conscientious, attentive, and humorous. He was always there to lend a hand, play games, and share memories with us all. We are so thankful to have been blessed with his love in our lives. Carol, David, and Ron, our deepest sympathies and prayers are with you all. May we all find comfort that he is now telling those stories, helping the angels, and chowing down on all that delicious food he so loved up in heaven with his savior. We love you all!

Love-The Klimek-Wilson Family

To all the Rask Family,

I've been beyond blessed to have you all in my life from a very young age. As a young man in high school and college there are too many events to count that Carl & Carol were at...to cheer us on, lend a kind word, or bust our chops a bit. All of this was typically a Rask family affair as most of the time it also included Ron & Sandy as well. Carl and Carol are the best kind of people....caring, loving, and generous with their time & advice. All would agree that those traits have carried on with their son Dave, who has always been the center of their world...that is until Avery and Elliot join the Rask clan and then Dave definitely became just became the driver! So to Dave & Carol...I know this hurts, and it sucks, and it doesn't seem fair as God definitely got a "Good One" to join Him. Know that you are loved by many, and your dad/husband are a part so many people's memories and stories, and he is watching over us likely from some type of camping chair with a kind word and smile.

So to the entire Rask Family...we love ya, thanks for being awesome.

We met Carol and Carl in 2003 when we purchased a trailer on Upper Mission. They were our neighbors for 9 years during the 14 years we were there. We formed a life long friendship. They are the best kind of people. Loving, caring, helpful and always the best kind of friends people need. Carl always had something to say to make you laugh. He carried dog treats and was best of friends with all the dogs at our resort. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed by all. RIP dear friend.
