I just received the news-shocked because Carl looked so good at last company luncheon. Carl was an awesome Manufacturing Engineer to work with. His insight into machining provided many young engineers like myself with knowledge to turn concepts into design reality. His easy-going manner was a pleasure to work with. Many military communications designs flying today can be traced back to his inputs. He will be missed!
