Sincere condolences to the family from another of Carl's co-chairs at John Abbott College. Fond memories of meetings at his house with goodies provided by him and garden discussions. He enthusiastically shared his passions for cooking, gardening and teaching with his colleagues.

My sincere condolences to carl's family. He is one of very few teachers that I fondly remember from JAC. Its been 20 years and my friends and I still talk of him when we meet. We will miss him.
