I lost my father to a heart attact in 1991. From that time, until Carl took on duties in a different Council, he was my father figure and mentor. With a never-ending smile, he would give me many an encouraging anecdote and fatherly advice snipet. Togeather with his son Craig, Carl was instrumental in my staying involved the Boy Scouts. His inspiration and belief in that organization is what drives me today. I have not seen him recently,(sadly intentionally) but will always remember him every time I put on a BSA uniform. My condolences to Thelma and the family.
