Carl and I started the same day at the T, I remember meeting him in the lobby of 10 Park Plaza along with Andy Bedard. Carls easy going manner, quick smile and sense of humor made him very easy to like right of the bat. There is always a special connection to the guys you start with, a common bond I suppose. I consider myself very lucky to have felt that bond with Carl. My prayers and thoughts to his entire family. God Bless and Godspeed my friend, until we meet again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hosea family at this sorrowful time , words can not express our sorrow. We will always remember Carly as a happy funny kid, especially the time we were sitting on the front porch after my sister had colored her hair, we told her it looked green but she did not believe us until Carly was walking by on his way home in his usual happy way said hi, and kept on walking, all of a sudden he stopped short walked back, he looked at my sister and said "Mrs. Libby do you know your hair is green!" Then walked off in his usual happy way, we all got a good laugh out of that. We will always honor his memory as a funny happy kid. Rest with the Angels now Carly, we know you will have them all laughing in no time at all.
sending love and prayers
