I just found out about Carl's passing and it has made my heart so very sad. He and I graduated high school together in Springhill. We were lab partners in chemistry our senior year and had a great time. I was as small as he was large so my small fingers could handle the lab equipment better for us both. He was a great guy and I know he was a great dad and friend to all. I will forever be thankful I knew him and will always remember him fondly.
