Carl was loved and appreciated for his devotion to the USO of South Florida and later, it's successor, the Armed Forces Service Center at Miami International Airport. Carl was always available to fill in when needed and did more than his share in helping these organizations to function well. We apprecaite all he did for our organization. He was a gentlemen and was always dependable.
