My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Carl Robertson at this most difficult time. Carl was an inspiration to all and a team player...I can still see his game face when he played football at Encinal...then turned into a teddy bear after the game. We've lost touch with Carl since high school but once a Jet, always a Jet...a strong presence among his peers. As a mom, I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. Blessings for healing Yvonne...may the Lord be by your side especially during these painful times and may the fond memories of Carl make you smile!

PS...My husband Jim died 5 years ago...hopefully Carl will look him up when he gets to Heaven.

My heart and prayers go out to the family of Carl. I attended high school in Alameda with Carl and he was nothing less than a gentleman and a child of God...and an excellent Bass player. I remember those school assemblies he "grooved" in.
