Carl was a wonderful friend and a great musician. Even through his personal tragedies his music was always the thing that lit up his way. We were close friends in High School and after we graduated. He was our oil deliverer and when I was hyome we spent a lot of time talking. The world has lost a very talented musician and a great man who never ceased to bring love to other people through his talent.

I am so very sorry to learn of Uncle Carls passing! I so remember going and listen to him and his band play for many of years while I lived there in Pa. Uncle Carl was a great man! Passed no judgment on others...only lifted people up. He will be missed by many as he has touched so many lives along the way. My daughter (his great niece Angela) and I will miss him very much!
