I continue to miss Carl. He certainly impacted my life. The fun I had working with Carl and Bill Gonillo at WICC will never be duplicated.
R.I.P. my friend.

I never had the pleasure of meeting "Carl" although he had a definite impact on my life. Carl was the voice of the Raybestos Brakettes and Raybestos Cardinals on radio station WNAB in the late '50's and early 60's. It was because of listening to the games that I became a fan, went on to work in radio for over 20 years and eventually became the public address announcer for the Brakettes. Thank you Carl for touching my life even though we never met.

I was fortunate enough to have been interviewed by Carl for "Talking Baseball". He was eloquent, knowledgeable, and the definition of class. The Connecticut area will miss him greatly and the entire sports profession has lost a true pioneer and friend.

I learned a lot about the business from Carl throughout the years. A great broadcaster, and even better person. I will miss him.

Carl was a wonderful man. For the past five years I have had the pleasure of co-hosting a radio baseball talk show with him on 600 WICC in Bridgeport,Conn. It might be the only exclusive year'round baseball talk show in the country.Thanks to Carl, the show has aired every Saturday since Dec.16,2000. Carl can come across as a gruffy, extremely opinionated guy. But once you get to know him, he is the proverbial Teddy Bear. And he has a heart as big as the Yale Bowl.I will miss him greatly.

My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Grande family & friends. I always enjoyed listening to both Carl & George and took pride as a "Hamdenite" in their successes in the broadcast industry, and actually routed for big brother to be just as recognized for his outstanding performance. I include in my condolences, one of my favorite biology teachers from back in the 70's.
