I have been a friend of Carls for over twenty years. When the torch was passed on to me to direct the Brooks Tennis league, I turned to Carl to help me guide the league through it's early expansion days. I seized on his passion for tennis and his gentle demeanor . He created many of our schedules and was incredibly responsible for our King of the Mountain tournaments. Carl also designed our present logo and bought all of our trophies for the tournaments. He was invaluable to the league. He was sincere, he was earnest , and he was loyal. I live next to the Middle Brook tennis courts and although I cannot play again due to a knee problem, I still look over my fence on Tuesday nights and see the players on the courts getting ready for their matches. I will miss seeing Carl dropping his tennis bag and jogging around the outside of the courts to warm up. I so appreciate his friendship and I will never forget him. TONY
