Carl Rald

I met Carl at an Affordable Comfort Conference and he was very interested in promoting energy efficiency in Tucson. He and I spent many hours talking and became fast friends. We corresponded frequently and visited at the Kansas City ACKC conference. I took Carl for a ride in my Prius and he decided that it would be a perfect car for his wife. I understand that she now drives one. I'll miss Carl greatly. He was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met.

I am very sad to hear of Carl's passing. He was a creative genius and a person of great compassion and vision. I was privileged to have been with Satori School when he designed the beautiful rammed earth green structure that serves as their elementary school. That simple building is a perfect expression of the spirit of Satori and a testament to Carl's creativity, ecological principles, and his deep understanding of his client. I have fond memories of long talks with him over good food and...

I had the honor of encountering Carl in a professional setting, and came to know him as a kind, intelligent and interesting man. He always had something to teach for those willing to learn, and a kind word for those willing to share with him. I enjoyed our conversations, and will recall him with respect. May his family be comforted by the positive things he did in the community, and the honorable mark he left behind.

So sorry to hear of Carl's passing. My sympathy goes out to all the family.

I was so surprised to hear of Carl's passing. I enjoyed working with Carl and Larry in their architecture office after graduating UofA in 1998. My condolences to the family.

Carl was one of the nicest guys I've ever known. He was always there for his friends.

His kindness and humor, and infectious laughter will be missed.

With my deepest sympathy to your loss.
