Read MoreI just learned of General Carnes passing today. General Carnes and my dad, Brig. Gen Albert Gagliardi were classmates together at the AF Academy and were lifelong friends. General Carnes was my Godfather and I was so thankful he came to visit my mother one last time before she passed. I know they are all celebrating together in heaven. May he rest in peace. He was a true American hero and a wonderful Godfather.

I served with General Carns at Myrtle Beach, and later in the HQ Pacific Air Forces when he was XP and later DO&I. I have known many general officers and of those, he was the best. I would have followed him in war anywhere any time. For those in or previously in the military, I think that says it all. God´s speed boss. We´ll miss you.

General Carns was a thoughtful boss and supervisor who also advised and mentored many younger officers, including me. I last saw him in 2019, before the Covid-19 disruptions, and he spoke as though we had just parted a day earlier. He was full of great advice to the end. May he rest in peace, and Victoria and their children and grandchildren remember him fondly.

Victoria, Michelle, and Marc, Prayers and condolences from Jeannie and I. General Carns was an outstanding leader who took the time to inquire and know those officers and enlisted he came in contact with. He truly cared about the Airmen he led. He made a huge, positive impact on me as a young TSgt assigned to the Joint Staff. It is what drove me to always do the right thing even and guided my later management decisions as firm but fair.

I have nothing but deep sorrow to learn that Gen Carns has passed. As my 57 FWW Comander he was a joy to know and work for. My condolences to his family. He's forever in my thoughts.
