I met Carl the first day I came to work at Boeing. (1982) He was definitely a character. I always said, in Carl's case, you should do as he does, not as he says.

Carl was a wonderful friend to my father Norman , I remember sitting around listening to their stories of Seattle . He would visit us many times here in Carlsbad , driving a jaguar I thought that was really cool. He has true friend in heaven .
My Mother is sad to hear of Carls passing and sends heartfelt prayers to the family.
Seattle has lost a good man. He will be missed greatly.

So glad to have been able to visit with my dear Godfather before his journey home. He was such a huge part of our lives and he exemplified living fully while he was here with us. Love and prayers to the family always.

I remember well the first time I met Carl on December 15, 1965, nearly a half century ago at Boeing Plant II when I was a UW ROTC Electrical Engineering student and later a fellow Electrical Engineer and fellow Engineering Alumni officer. Carl was a mentor and friend. We worked together on the Boeing 737 and 747 programs functional test Equipment Engineering group. My Wife and I attended many of his birthday parties where he would light off the canon in his yard. Carl will be missed.
