I had the privilege of being Carl Jr’s high school teacher many years ago. He was a joy to be around. I recall his smiles, grins, and witty comments. Later I was one of his Stuttgart Softwater customers. He was a good student and a good man who will be dearly missed. Our prayers are with his family and friends.
