Although it has been many years ago, Carl was my manager at SuperX Drug Store in 1976-1977 when I was in college. He was such a good man to work with and for. My condolences to his family.

Carl was a wonderful friend to us. We had so much fun traveling with them, dancing with them and playing dominoes with the addition of mudslides increasing the laughter. I'll miss him terribly. The world has lost a truly "good guy". Love to Connie and Darwin and his family in this time of loss. Dee Emmons
