Louis,

I'm saddened to learn of this today as I remember Carl very well. I met and chatted with him multiple times over the last 22 or so years and I was always fascinated to hear his interesting stories. One of those times was in his bus at an iATN event in Ontario CA where he was recovering from a medical condition and still found a way to attend the event. If I remember right he was planning a cross country motorcycle trip which I believe he completed some time after that event.

The last time we met face to face is at the iATN gathering he coordinated back in 2009 in Hot Springs Arkansas. There were quite a few members there with cameras so I hope to see others sharing memories of Carl and that awesome event.

Here are a few images that I took at the event:

Btw, earlier this year members started asking about Carl and this is where he resurfaced and provided some clarity for us all:

He was an awesome supporter of the industry and iATN as well. We really appreciated his efforts and communications over the years. He will be missed and in his memory, I will be getting my bike out and taking a ride in his honor.

Godspeed Carl!

Regards,

Scott
