One of the best bosses and kindest person you'd ever want to meet. I had the privilege of working with him at RSM McGladrey for 9 years and I also had the honor of him being a patient at the physicians office that I'm the administrator of. He came to the office for years, and at one point almost everyday for eight months. He always had a smile on his face thru all those tough times. He will be missed by many and touched so many lives. I must add he was an avid Cubs fan. What more could...

My condolences to Carl's family.

I had the privilege of working with Carl. He was thoughtful, professional and of the highest integrity. More importantly, he was a truly decent person.
