Carl Schwartz Tribute on the web

From Jeanne: Carl’s spirit is strong. Carl said many times that he was not afraid of death, but he loved life and hoped to live a very long time.

Carl had the best eyes in the world. When he smiled, his whole face smiled. He had the most wonderful laugh. Carl loved people. He loved music, baseball, and the environment. He loved life. He loved me (Jeanne) and I continue to love him.

Think of Carl and smile whenever it snows. He loved all types of weather, but snow was his favorite. CARL, WE LOVE YOU. You are one of a kind. No one with your zest for life should be gone. WE WILL ALL MISS YOU!

Shalome. Amein
