What a wonderful man to have on the earth for 100 years! He aged so gracefully.... he will be missed.

Richard did a fine job of officiating at the celebration of Carlos' time here. I last talked with Carlos back in mid July and his wit, from all aspects, were as sharp as ever though he "don't hear so good" in recent years. After 100 (WOW!) years, the machine wore out. His magic lives on.
I respectfully remain, "that bad boy tommy greiner".
