Well, I read this sad news last week at work and for one reason and another haven't got round to posting. Like most on here, I didn't know Carl personally, but as with others, you feel a bit of a connection, whether its writing style, shared experiences or sheer appreciation of his honesty and shared laughs.
it also shows what a great community this place, for all its warts, quirks and half time whoppers, really is and the just giving bit is mind blowing in its generosity.
RIP Carl, YNWA
