Carol, I met Carl only a few times and instantly saw the light in his eyes. He made me feel comfortable as we discussed being mechanics and working for an airline. I'm honored to have shared moments in his life and am sending you warm Aloha and wish you health and healing. I love ya Cuz!

Carl was a great friend. He recruited me to join the bowling team freshman year at Montini. He not only taught me to bowl but arranged for my transportation as well. He was easy going, intelligent, and always very welcoming. I will miss him.

What will I miss most about Carl? His smile, his mischevious twinkling eyes, his ready laugh.

Land ho beer, Carl.
