Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I remember the fun times we at SLU, at the KMS frat parties, and at the fraternity lunches in St. Louis over the years. He was a good friend and great guy.

He was a beacon of light and a joy to be around. Met him when I started at (what was then called) AIM. He was always cheerful and such a positive presence to be around every day. He will be greatly missed.

We´re so deeply sorry to hear about Uncle Carl. He was truly one of a kind and one of the coolest uncles anyone could ask for, a wonderful doctor, and someone who always went above and beyond for his family. His kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone around him - from his own kids to all of us cousins who felt lucky to be part of his extended family. He´ll be remembered with so much love and gratitude for all he gave and all the joy he brought into our lives.

Carl was amazing to work with. As his manager I could rely on him to out perform on anything I asked of him with a cheerful attitude. He was an excellent physician and proud father and grandfather. He spoke so lovingly of his wife and their life together. He shared stories about his time at WashU and St Louis and because of his influence, my son is attending school there. He had a gleam in his eye when he reminisced about his acting work and time on sets. Condolences to his family on their loss. I will greatly miss Carl´s charm and grace while always remembering his many accomplishments.

I will always remember the fun times Carl and I had at Sunset County Club. We also took many golf trips around the US and spent special times together. I haven’t seen Carl since he left St Louis and hope his time in California was special with his family. Condolences to his family and friends. Mark Erickson

Carl and l began school (kindergarten) together in 1945. We attended school at Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in southwest St. Louis. ln 1948 (third grade), however, my parents moved to Webster Groves. Carl and l didn't reconnect until our freshman year at Bishop DuBourg High School (1954), where we had many classes together. Then, we again went our separate ways to college.
Without doubt, Carl was just an all-around good guy. He was smart, funny, likeable, enjoyed sports... good to be with. We didn't stay in touch over the years, but l'll remember him fondly. Rest in peace, Carl.

I worked for "Dr. E" for many years as his medical secretary and can honestly say he was the best boss I ever had. His wit and sense of humor were a bright spot every day I worked with him. He was kind, fair and generous to a fault and much loved by all who were in his orbit. I'll never forget his influence on my life. My sincere condolences to Janet and the family.
