I got to know Carl at the El Dorado lunches. He was so kind and had such a joyful smile and a glint of mischief in his eyes. And what a talented artist. I will remember him dearly. Love to you Nancy and Kory. I am so sorry for
your loss. Marcia Paris

His laugh will live on in my memory. What a ham he was. I also loved the way called me "Darlin'"

Nana, I'm sorry I wasn't with you when he passed. I would have loved to see him one more time
