I worked with Carl for many years and learned a lot from him. His good nature and even temperment made it easy a young auditor to approach him for advice.
I remember he was thrilled when we brought the kids into the office and he always gave them quarters.
I'm sorry I didn't hear about the funeral until it was over.
My best to Naomi.
