    Sorry to hear of the passing of my co worker Carl. He was a great guy and never had a bad word about anybody. He taught me a lot at the Water Co . I’m sorry that I’m going to miss the services . I’m going to miss the Christmas phone call that I would get every Christmas . God Bless you Carl and you had a great 101 years. Fran Aiello Cape Coral , Florida
