Carl was the definition of a hard-working Laurentian. For 53 years, he devoted himself to St. Lawrence, its students, and the betterment of campus. He taught me many lessons, including the importance of taking pride in my work no matter the task, big or small. I'll miss having lunch with him at Jrecks, talking about the Saints basketball teams that he was devoted to throughout his life. I'm thankful for his friendship, and am thinking of his family and friends at this difficult time. Joe Keniston, Class of 2005
I first met Carl when I started my work career in 1988 in the Facilities Department. He would call in a work order. Months later I would take my lunch breaks and walk the track with him. We became friends and continued that friendship. I would run into him in the stores and we would pick up where we left off. He was an amazing man and will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Carl is the gold standard for taking pride in your work as a Saint and for always having a Scarlet and Brown smile for everyone within our community. From my very first day at SLU, I always felt welcomed by Carl and will always cherish our visits when he made trips back to St. Lawrence to check in on all of us in his retirement.
Thank you for always being YOU Carl, xoxo. Mare MacDougall Bari, Athletics - Women's Hockey
Carl was among the first people I met when I started at St. Lawrence over 25 years ago. Never one to mince words, he would offer up his plain spoken and genuine assessments of the events of the day when I had the good fortune to catch up with him in passing. The doors to all the coaches’ offices were always open to Carl, and not just because he had all the keys; we loved chatting with him. Carl was authentic and wise. And when he would break into a wide smile, he brightened our day. He’s been missed around Augsbury since he retired, but we all had had fond thoughts about him toiling in the garden he loved. St. Lawrence and the North Country are diminished by his passing. Nick Hughes, Athletics
I will never forget Carl. He was one of the first individuals from outside of my academic departments that I met when I started working at St. Lawrence in 2005. I used to see Carl every morning when I went to the Brewer Bookstore to get my morning coffee. He worked a shift there before heading over to work at Augsbury and Newell for the rest of the day. Jill Pflugheber and I were always the first ones at the bookstore when it opened at 8 am (back then) so we could get our coffee before class. We always chatted with Carl and Paul while they were having their morning coffee break. It was always great catching up with Carl. And he never got upset with me whenever I clumsily spilled my coffee just after he and Paul had cleaned the cafe area. He smiled his big smile and told me not to worry about it. It was always great to see him back on campus after his retirement. In fact, I probably scared his wife Margaret a few times with my excitement at running into her and Carl either at the bookstore or at Burkman Gym after Carl's retirement. Carl was a great person. My condolences to Margaret and the entire family. Ana Estevez, Biology and Psychology
