Dear Catherine,
I began working in the TRC lab in the late 70's and would go in the field with the stack group now and then. They were a hard-working, fun group and Carl was such a great guy. What I remember the most is how much he missed you. “This is the longest I have been away from my wife since we were married,” he told me when we were at Goodyear. When we returned to Bradley, you were waiting at the gate and I saw tears in your eyes as the two of you embraced. It touched my heart...

Dearest Catherine, I've just read the news of Carl's passing. I am shocked and saddened. I liked him the first time I met him, because of the birds we mutually loved! I admired what I knew of him, his dedication to his craft. I am thinking of you and praying for you and your sons and grandchildren. May God bless you all.
Love, Candace Wilson

Time passages...Carl was a good man in the field as well as someone who did much good in his time. Carl's soul is free of a body that no longer served, he will be soaring with wings of his own now.

Catherine . . . . So sorry! I last saw you and Carl as you walked the beach at Milford Point. It was then that Carl informed me of his debilitating illness and I said I would pray for him. He will be missed.
