It's now the one year from the death (August 25,2015)of my Dearest pal, Carl William Maass, 1953-2015/

Dear Maass Family,
It's now going on a year from the loss of our Dear Carl. He was one of my oldest friends, since we were in 1st grade till his death in August 2015. We were always in regular contact by phone, text, email and his visits to Chicago. Near the end of his life, as he particularly struggled with his reactive arthritis,we were speaking almost daily. His loss is still such a raw-wound in my life. I really miss our conversations; ranging from his daily struggles to politics, religion, family, and all our Chicago friends, etc.
May his Memory be for Blessing; particularly in the lives of his beloved daughters, Emily and Amanda.
Sincerely, TomLambros Bornstein, Northcenter, Chicago

I met Carl in 1980 in the Galapagos Island. Two weeks later we rendezvoused to backpack in La Cordillera Blanca of Peru. Just over a year later I met Katie and Carl in New Zealand and we traveled the North Island together. My sympathy to all who loved him. May he rest in peace.
