  1. Carv was the godfather of the Faith Stock Show, a hardworking member of the State Fair Commission, and the proud parent of some dedicated TAR kids. Faith and South Dakota lost a good one.

  2. I always had a great deal of respect for Carv and the way he approached the public arena as well as his approach to business as well. My prayers go out to his family.
