Obituary for Carl A. “Keen” Cable Our beloved father, grandfather, brother and friend, Carl A. “Keen” Cable, age 79, made his ascent to Heaven on Saturday, May 26, 2018 from his residence, and without a doubt he was singing and shouting upon his arrival.

Carl had a gift for comforting those that were hurting and visited many nursing homes, hospitals and was in attendance at many, many funerals.
