It was a terrible shocke to find Raz's name in the local obituaries. To his special someone, his children, I can only imagine it a greater surprise to have a loved one taken at home, when he so loved life, family and friends first, his talents with bikes, art, and "ink" pastimes and fruits to care for all he cared for most. My sympathies are with you all in this considerable loss.
I did not know "Carl," but was a fan of one of the tattoo' she'd done for a nephew, I wound up going to him for one of my own. A second nephew was also a client and as three patrons, we truly admired his craft. Not all shared his vision & creativity, but his patience to work with one's choice to "ink," and to take an idea and specialize it shall be missed, in the "industry."
May his love have been felt from significant through most recent grandbaby, and his memory for service to nation & Vets, carried on in the bodies of family, friends, & those who wear his work.
