I will miss you Carl... True we were Brother-In-Laws but we were Friends first - I knew Carl from High School days way before we ever thought we would be related. Carl was a good friend then and remained one throughout his life - I will miss his special brand of humor and the ability to just sit and chat... We traveled together many times. I will always remember him when I return to thoes places. My special prayers for you Carl, and your family...

Working with Carl was a true pleasure, receiving his mentorship and friendship as a Guardsmen had an untold effect on my career and the 267th years of success. Carl was one of those Senior NCO’s that impacted so many airmen and officers, a number of us have a great deal to be grateful for because of Chief Cristoforo. Carl will be missed, but never forgotten. My prayer to his family and friends.

I was deeply sadden about the news of Carl's passing. I had the honor of serving with Carl for over 20 years. I will always cherish the years I worked with Carl. My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to his family.

I have many fond memories of walking to High School with Carl almost every day even when it snowed. There were no Wellesley school buses back in the 50's. I also remember his dad and grandfather who smoked Parodi cigars. Rest in peace Carl.
