R.I.P. - Carl Karcher founder of Carl's Jr.

Carl Karcher passed away on Jan. 11, 2008. Today was his memorial. More news about it can be found here.

Here is a bit:

The happy face star symbol of the Carl's Jr. empire, fashioned from yellow and red roses, graced the altar Friday at St. Boniface Catholic Church, where Carl's Jr. founder Carl Karcher was remembered as a loving father, mentor and man of deep faith. Some 2,200 mourners filled the sanctuary of the church and parish hall and spilled out into the parking lot, where many watched the nearly two-hour service on a large screen. The founder of the CKE Enterprises died a week ago -- five days shy of his 91st birthday -- of Parkinson's disease-related pneumonia at St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton


Carl's Junior has always been one of the better fast food burger places. I respect the devotion he had towards his wife and family a lot. She preceded him in death. I like to think that they are together again, smiling. I believe LOVE is ETERNAL.
