I was a friend of Carl's a number of years ago. Coincidentally, I am now the organist at St. Luke's Chapel in Queenstown.

I send my deepest condolences on the passing of Carl. We were students together at Manhattan College. Carl was a great student and a good friend. Again, my deepest condolences on his passing.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
