Dennis Heckerman wrote a sympathy message

“So sorry about Carl's passing. I first met Carl in the mid 80's as I also worked for the Postal Service. Carl had a love for music and people, and music is how Carl and I got to know each other after my wife and I moved to Neodesha from Wichita a little over 5 years ago. My heartfelt condolences to family and friends of Carl.”
