Rest in peace Carl. Many of us learned things from him, and he always had interesting posts. I never met him, but did talk to him a couple of times on the phone. The world would be a better place with more people like Carl in it.

If someone would like to write something up and post it in the family friends announcements forum, we can make it a sticky along with the other TBN members who have passed.

I'm going to miss learning from his expertise. He was a real master of his art.

So sorry to hear this. He lived in the same county and at one time I hoped when I retired I could have him school me in his art of welding. RIP Shield Arc.

Thanks for letting us know. Is his wife still living? I believe someone said he was taking care of her.

I was lucky to have met him a couple of times. When I bought my MIG, he said bring it over... I did, and learned so much from him hands on.
I was a bit intimidated at first under his watchful eyes but he made me feel good about learning by trying and testing.
I'll never forget you, Carl. R.I.P.

A valuable source of information has been lost. Anyone who has been here for long enough knew he would always offer advice. I don't think I have ever seen him attack another poster or retaliate if attacked. This forum will miss him. To those who personally knew him, his family, and friends I offer my sympathy at the loss of a good man.

Heartfelt condolences. Amazing mentors are rarely fine folks.

I know that the internet isn't the best way to meet people, but Carl was a great guy not only for his helpfulness every where he was on the internet, but for his service to our infrastructure of this country.
