I’ve personally had the opportunity to befriend Carl and receive the privilege of his thought provoking and real conversations, exemplary work ethic and his passion for life. Therefore, be comforted in knowing during his tenure here at YSU, Carl had a profound impact on the lives of people who were allotted the opportunity to know him. His absence will be missed and felt.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>It’s never easy losing a loved one and there are no words that can expedite the healing process.
