Carl was a friend, a friend to his wife and family, a friend to his classmates and a friend to me. We go back 50 years from the days when we were carefree at Stewart Field. He was senior to me...a PFC and I was a buck ass private. Our yearbook recounts that he used to say "Lets get a little ventilation in here; its only 10 below!" on those cold New York winter nights. But that was a long time ago. In between he went into the Air Force and as I'm sure all will agree he made quite a name for himself. But then he returned to his Class, our Class as our President We were looking forward to great things from Carl that were not to be. You see God needed him more....and that call no one can deny. Carl will be sorely missed by all of us I'm sure. But I for one am comforted by the fact that he was my friend and I his. Rest in peace old friend. Tommy |
