I would just like to say that I just heard about Carl's passing from some of our retirees who worked with him. I was one if his supervisors and we always had great talks and whenever there was an issue with our process we worked it out. Carl was a dedicated worker and an easy going person. He will be truly missed. May GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
