John William Coolley Carlson

Mr. Carlson was one of realtors at a real estate company where I was hired as a receptionist fresh out of college and while attending Computer Graphic Design Classes at The Art Institute of Chicago. We produced a poster themed "Innovation" and he encouragingly hung it in the reception area at work. I never knew all the details of his life while working with him, but after reading this obituary I can understand why he was one of the most respectable/professional men that I ever worked with. ...

John was a dear friend and mentor. He always looked out for others in building management and was instrumental in helping me get involved with The Property Club. After we both retired, I really enjoyed the time we spent together golfing in Naples. I´m very sorry for your loss. Joe Nelligan
