Dear Lisa & Colleen. My heart goes out to both of you in this most difficult time; my sympathies for your loss. I am very thankful that I was able to meet Carl at the Di Lullo Xmas gathering a few years back. I very much enjoyed our lengthy conversation that evening, even though I knew that I was barely scratching the surface of Carl's character. I could have sat and talked with him for days. He seemed like such an outstanding humble guy, particularly when speaking of his military service; brave men of character usually are humble. Carl shared with me how much the two of you meant to him; it clearly showed in his interactions that evening. Even if someone were to try, a man like Carl will never be forgotten. All my love Glenn
