Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace Carl. Enjoyed working in your division. 3300 in 1978 and 3206 about 1980. I still remember how cold building VV was in winter and when you grabbed a roll of Mylar drawing plastic and "insulated" the walls for us to stop the wind. The following year they got the hint and insulated the building. Then there was the day you leaned back in your office chair and fell backwards. Fortunately you weren´t hurt. When you got up we heard "Damn thing threw me." We had a good laugh....

Rest in peace, Carl. It was a privilege to work with you! George Lustgarten, previous Engineering Director, Caterpillar

My sincere condolences to Bev and family. I worked for and with Carl at Caterpillar in the `80s. He was one of the best managers you could ask to work for. He had the mechanical engineering skills to deeply understand the challenges work projects presented. He would trust you to make the right decisions. His office door was always open. It was a privilege to have known him.
