Having served on the Edward Scott with Carl, where he passed on his navigator skills, we spent many a long mile in conversation. To the Family: Carl ("Iron Man")will be missed. I have been made a better person for knowing him. His smile will live with me always.

May God continue to bless you and wipe your tears away, for he his has lived a great life and he is gone to a better place. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.
