At times like this we don't understand why this could happen. One thing we do know is that CJ is now with the angels and looking over his family. We all will remember his free spirited appetite for life and he did live life to the fullest. He always had a smile or a joke to make you smile. He will greatly be missed and also remembered forever. Rest in Peace CJ.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I worked with Carl for a time last year, and he was the kind of guy who could light up your whole day when he was around. I will remember him for his jokes and amusing outlook on life. Carl's memory will live on through the laughter he has shared.
