To Pat & Family,
Barb & I would like to express our deepest sympathy to you on your loss. Carl was a great friend as well as my boss at Rochester Products. He was also a fellow firefighter with the Ridge-Culver Volunteer Fire Department. Both Carl & I served as Presidents of the Ridge-Culver Fire Association and we together started the first firematics Explorer Post in Monroe County.
Again our deepest sympathy.
