We, too, were shocked to hear of Carl's passing. We worked with him at INEOS on the school children field trips. He had so much enthusiasm for all the classes. The children and adults thoroughly enjoyed his classes. We enjoyed joking around with him. We knew that if he was picking on us then he liked us. We will truly miss Carl.
