To all Carl’s family: I met Carl when he worked at the Cumberland Ave varsity store and made THE BEST Italian sandwich I’ve ever had. I also used to see him around Forest Lake when I was walking my dogs. He’d stop and always asked about my dad. They both worked together in the PPD. and probably spent way too much time together at the Andrews Post. One time, he said I should see the house he was working on on Glenview Rd. at Forest Lake. I took my dogs, walked down, and he showed me the work he was doing. He was a great finish carpenter, and the house was magnificent. He’ll be surely missed.
