Guest Book

Carl aka Plumber was one of my best friends and I consider him family and will never forget him and his kindness. I fondly remember him coming to all of my bands practice sessions and live shows. He supported us any way he could and always talked us up like we were the next big thing. He was always down to hang out and listen to music and have deep talks while playing a game of crazy 8s or round of 10,000.. some of my favorite times.. he always had a dream to play bass like me and I did all I could to get his gear fixed up and ready sadly I wont ever get to show him any megadeth riffs...Plumber was a genuine good person and anyone who knew him was lucky and I will miss him dearly.

I am one of the luckiest people in Cheatham County because Plummer was my neighbor. When we moved across the street, he was the first person to introduce themselves to me and was the first person I could rely on, whenever I needed to get something off of my chest. We would sit and talk for hours about life, music, and everything in between. He was one of the only people that would talk about the bible with me; He is a man of God. I loved our one-on-one conversations the most. That was the time we could truly open up to one another. Plummer was the kindest person anyone could ever hope for. A lot of times I kept an eye on him because people tend to run over kindhearted folks. You could say I seemed over reactive but for Plummer I took it to the max! He is family and will always be family to me. I don't have a lot of family alive, but Plummer would make me feel right at home. I don't know how I am going to get through this. I do know one thing though; Plummer would want me to pray. Praying is the only thing that eases the pain from losing such a remarkable person. For his sister, brother-in-law, closest friends, and family friends just know that I am praying for all of you. There is a gloom that looms over the holler since God called you home. I know I will see you again, Plummer. I told you I loved you every time I stepped out of that door, and I meant it. I will always call to you whenever I feel despair. Thank you, neighbor. -Heather
