Carl, I thought in coming back to Chicago-land last week, you and I could reconnect. I only wish that when you accidentally called me just a couple of weeks before passing, that I had known your condition. I sorely miss that I could not be with you to face this last challenge. God be with you, my friend.

Not sure how I stumbled upon this terrible news. I am deeply saddened to hear of Carl's passing. He was a great guy and I was privileged to work with him. Was teaching him to be a salesman and we visited Union Carbide. They were having a disaster because they couldn't get payroll checks printed. We were visiting frm the Bank and Carl volunteered to look at the printer. Right there and then he pulls out a little screwdriver and fixed the printer thus saving the day!!! Folks at Carbide never forgot that..........nor did I. I have told that story many, many times. You were a great one, Carl.

Always a pleasure meeting up with Carl. He had the intellect and quick wit that was very engaging. Always a gentleman, and known for his delicious cheesecake. You came vividly into my mind this past weekend. Sincerely saddened by your passing. Ernie
