I worked with Carl for almost 20 years, he was always pleasant, professional and would do anything to help someone who asked. I expect he had a lot of friends, and I hope he would have counted me as one.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Carl's wife Faye, Charlie Harris and Family. Carl and I worked together at IUPAT were close friends as well. We shared a lot about animals, plants, our gardens and other things. The love he has for his wife was phenomenal. He also cared about I was whenever I was sick by calling or sending me a funny text. We shared computer and software technology. He was one of my BEST BUDDIES on and off IUPAT. God got Him a good one in Carl!!! Rest in Power Pal until we meet again!! Brenda Simms-Cox

I know Carl from work. Carl would be the person to reach out to when we had technical issues with our computer. We would be in the break room preparing our coffee and we would talk about the weather and any upcoming vacation plans with the family. We spoke about our cats. I exchanged a few pictures of my cat, as he liked using the pictures as screen savers. He was a great person. One thing I will remember is he always had his tropical shirts and I would always say "you look like you belong at a beach".

I've known Carl since the early 1970's. He was great friends with my brother Larry, along with the other 2 musketeers Charlie and Carpey. Not only did he have a great sense of humor, but he was one of the kindest and caring persons we've had the pleasure of knowing. Our hearts go out to Faye, both their families and friends. The world is a better place because he was in it. All our Love Larraine and Al

In my short time working with Carl, I was lucky to experience such a helpful, knowledgeable, and overall just amazing guy! He was so welcoming and patient as he assisted me in getting set up here! I will miss seeing him and especially his Hawaiian shirt that reminded me so much of my own Papa as Carl also reminded me of him. Praying and thinking of his family, friends, and coworkers during this time.
