Hi Mike, Wow what a shocker! I'm saddened to hear of his passing. While we had not spoken in a number of years I always thought a lot of Carl and enjoyed working with him from time to time, he truly will be missed. I am curious how someone dies from knee surgery. My wife had knee surgery and had complications that left here somewhat crippled but nothing life threatening, very strange. Thanks again for letting us know.
