We are sad to hear about the passing of Mr Carl. He was the bus driver for my son for all of his elementary school years. Mr Carl was always so happy and such a pleasure to see and be around. He was more of a friend than just a bus driver. We always made sure to give him something for special occasions but he definitely deserved much more.

You will be missed so much. My prayers to the family because they definitely have lost a great person.

Forever bus #39
