I've just read the news...

To Sheryl, Bruce, and family, you have my deepest condolences. Like others here, I never had the pleasure and privilege to meet Carl in person, but I felt like I had known him for ages just through the correspondences across this forum. Carl had that effect on many, I suspect.

I find these words always comforting when a friend or family member succumbs to the greatest enemy of all:

(Revelation 21:3-5) . . .With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” 5 And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also, he says: “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”

Sleep now, dear comrade, as I patiently await that time when you awaken fresh from your slumber at the clarion call from our Lord. I look forward to meeting you then, and perhaps even to share a few launches with you into the clearest of skies.

Wow - just wow... words are difficult I never met Carl, but was always amazed by what he did with Semroc. My thoughts to his immediate family and to the rocketry family as a whole. It is good to hear they will honor his work by continuing the Semroc tradition. Best wishes.

I'm so very, very sorry.
I'm shocked, stunned, and very sad.

Default Shocked and Broken Hearted

I just can't hardly believe what I've been reading the past few minutes here as I opened YORF for the first time today....

Much like STRman said in his post, I sit here a 'just turned 51 a few days ago' man and I can hardly see the keyboard screen on the iPad as I type because I'm crying so much.

I never met Carl, never talked to him on the phone. Traded a few emails was the closest I ever came to 'meeting' him. But I truly feel like I (we!) have lost a truly great friend.

To Sheryl and Family, there are no words at this time that can truly convey our condolences and sympathies. Just know our steadfast and sincere prayers undergird you at this time and that the Lord's presence and strength will surround and comfort you all.

To Carl, our friend, may your new travels carry you above and beyond the earthly life you have known these many years and show you the full glory and majesty of His creation in ways and forms that we can only imagine in our earthly bodies.

Fair winds, our dear friend.


Earl

Since we both live in NC, I used to joke with him on the phone at night and tell him--that if I wasn't disabled, I would come up there and go to work with him-- he cheerfully laughed,,,,,

Sheryl is from my hometown of Norwood ! , though she moved away long before I knew her. My thoughts with you all, Sheryl. Danny

How blessed have we been to have shared some time, even if only digitally, with Carl? Through our sadness and disappointment, we send our thoughts and prayers to Sheryl and the rest of the family.
