I guess none of us should be shocked when someone dies in their 80s but that doesn't make the loss any less real. Buzz and Dee were the first grown-ups I knew. Michael, Kelly and Patsy were my first friends. And Carl was my father's best friend for over 50 years so yes, he is already missed.
A couple of years ago at Lyle's 80th birthday party, Robbie had just found out first-hand how hard it was to become an actuary and Carl said to me "The kid looks at your Dad and me and figures 'how hard can THAT be!'". He had such a dry quick wit.
