Carl always had a smile on his face and a laugh to pick you up. I enjoyed working with him. It’s been a while since I have seen him and that was my loss. I am so sorry we lost him so young. Carl was a great guy with whom to work. I’m glad I had the opportunity to get to know him and work with him. I got to work with him for about 5 years at Lockheed Martin.
I will miss Carl’s laugh; you could hear it through the whole building. It always brightened my day at work.
I am very sorry for the loss of Carl. His outgoing personality made us all feel good when we were around him. We were coworkers on Air Traffic systems and also team-mates on our softball team for many years. My condolences to his family.

I will miss my neighbor so very much. I had some great conversations with Carl over the fence. He was so fun to talk with and was kind and helpful, hints on yard work and talked about rhubarb! also, toads , and was proud of his garden. He was the best neighbor I ever had. God bless him. He will be missed for sure. Condolences to his family.
Carl, godspeed, and my condolences to all your family and friends.
