I met Carl by working at USDA with his sisters Kathy & Carol. He was always friendly and funny. As an only child I was always jealous of the great relationship that all of the Dobson kids had and have with each other. A good man has left this earth and he will be missed by everyone that ever met him!

It was a shock to hear of Carl's death. My condolences to the family. If Carl taught me one thing, it was "a clean job is a happy job".
