Not sure what to say?

I do only have really great memories of good times Ive spend with him, in Quebec and in New-York. I keep these times in my heart forever. All my toughts for Mario, friends and family in this special time of year.

Carl was a great friend and confidante. He inspired me to engage in lgbt activism. The smartest man I have ever met, Carl was such a shining light in my life. I am so sorry our friendship waned in its later years. I so sorely miss him.

Carl and Mario were the greatest neighbors ever when we lived in the same building in Seattle. From the first day I moved in, when they invited me to dinner, to the time I moved back to Texas nine years later, they were a frequent part of my life. I think of Carl often, and wish Mario continued success and happiness.

You will be missed.

I met Carl shortly after he and his husband Mario moved to the Seattle area. What I soon realized after meeting Carl was how he was devoted to making the world a better place for everyone and worked relentlessly to help anyone and everyone.

I do remember meeting him and his partner Mario Cavero on a trip they made to Miami a few years ago. Carl was a great guy; bright and funny. He will be missed. God bless him.

The first time i met Carl is when he came to visit us in Quebec. Latter, when i went to Seattle, i saw Carl has a person with a lot of compassion and it is what i will remember the most from him.

While I miss Carl so much and wish he were still alive with us, my pain is lessened when I think of all the great times spent with him. Just thinking of his way of laughing make me smile. Carl is in my prayer and my condolences go out to Mario.

May the love of family and friends along with prayers support and strengthen you at this time of grief and sorrow
