Dave, I can't thank you enough for sending me a copy of that photo. I have it on my "wall of family" and it is my most favorite photo of him. When he had his finger to his lips as he does in that photo, I knew his mind was very active. Reminds me of the statue of "The Thinker". Thank you again, Sheryl |

I was Scoutmaster of our local troop for almost 18 years. Mentored 24 Eagles, including my 4 sons. Camping was the really fun part. Winter, summer, spring, fall, it was all good. Doing Space Ex MB kept me into the rockets at the same time.... |

Sunday, August 11, 2019 will mark six years, since the premature passing of Carl McLawhorn . . .
It doesn't seem like it has been that long and I still feel the loss. Dave F. |

Wowwww....
That 6 years sure has went by quickly... Agree that his loss is still missed by the many in this hobby. He contributed so much over a relatively short time.

I remember it being just after the NARAM outside of Cleveland. I introduced my brother in law to him and we chatted for a while after making our purchases. As we were walking away, Tony asked if that was really the SEMROC guy. I told him it was. He said "Wow, it was just like talking to a normal guy." Carl in a nutshell.

Hard to believe it has been 7 years.
He was the true "Gold Standard" of the hobby industry to the umpteenth power. Missed for sure. God speed, Carl !

Yes, it really is hard to believe the time that has passed since then. I still remember the shock I felt when I read those posts here with the news of his passing early that eve at home (I had been at work all day and unable to check the forum there). I recall typing my initial reaction post to this forum through tear filled eyes; I could hardly see what I was typing.
Continued prayers and support for Sheryl on this occasion too. As I have said several times in the past, though our shock and sadness was/is great at loosing Carl, I am sure that pales to what Sheryl has gone through the last seven years. Earl

I thought about Carl and Sheryl yesterday. I found my folder with every packing slip from every order that I ever placed with Semroc. The special tube cuts they never charged for and all the extra things they did for me on special orders.
Carl is sadly missed. +1 to what everyone posted here about Carl today and I still pray for Sheryl too.
