Carl was, quite simply, the best. Always, always willing to lend a hand. He will be sorely missed.

While I did not know Carl, I still want Diane Bodnar to know that I share her sadness. Losing a father, at any age, is not an easy thing. He sounds like he lived a long, good life, and was a very good man.
