Sad News

[Uncle Al]

It is with great sorrow that I notify Skirt Cafe' of the passing of our Master Barista

- - Carl Friend(crfriend) - -

From Mikeu, our newest member and Carl's co-founder of the Retro Computing Society of RI at https://rcsri.org/

He had a brain hemorrhage. The damage from the stroke was too severe to recover from. It was quite sudden.
There won't be a funeral. He will be cremated. His ashes will be scattered at sea. He loved sailing.

I will post obituary information, once I get it.

May he Rest In Peace

Uncle Al

I must add my condolences. Carl will be greatly missed, and his appearance in a long outfit was outstanding.

Sadly, I suspect that his demise is related to stress at work and the wider problems on that side of the pond.

[Uncle Al]

Having many, many phone calls with Carl, IMHO, his stress level from work,
could be a contributor to his demise. He was looking forward to retirement.

We didn't agree on politics but, barring that, we had fantastic discussions.
I introduced him to the Wurlitzer Theater Pipe Organ after suggesting he
attend a concert in Worcester. MA. A fantastic musician, Dave Wickerham,
performed the concert and Carl said "it blew my mind". He was hooked

I greatly miss him

RIP Carl.
