Emma, my husband Ron worked with Carl in the pharmacy at JCMC for years. Carl always had a smile on his face and was so polite to me as a nurse. He was a hard worker and it was an honor to know him. My thoughts are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear of Carl's passing, glad that he is with his Lord. Sending hugs and prayers for your comfort in the coming days. Classmate Eloise Barth.
Very sorry to hear about the loss of a good friend. I went to the college of pharmacy at UT with Carl and Bob. We had some really good time together. I considered both of them to be some of my favorites. May God give you and the family peace. I’m sure he is in a place that is blessed. He is probably seeing some of his old friends that have already been there. I hope someday we can meet again.

Erma, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. I know you will miss his presence here, but you have that great joy that you will see him again "in the morning."
God, wrap your arms around this family. Place their hearts in your hands. Bring comfort and peace unto them until they meet him again.
Much Love and many thoughts,
