Just learned of Carl's passing via an amateur radio email service. He was a true friend for many years. I will miss him at ham fests and our periodic coffee sessions. My sincerest condolences to his family.

We learned of Carl's passing just tonight at our meeting of the Raytown Amateur Radio Club, where Carl was a longtime member. I recall many good conversations with Carl and enjoyed spending time with Carl and other good friends while attending the Ham Radio Convention at Dayton, Ohio.

You will be missed, Carl. Peace to you and your family.
