My sincere condolences to Carl’s family. I knew Carl for many years as a fellow RPh. I remember Menard Dempster Phcy with Arnold and Carl. I was part owner of Gordon Drugs of Skokie and my own Shrout Phcy of Evanston, then retired from Osco Phcy. When I saw Carl’s notice in the Tribune, it brought back so many fond memories.

My wife Anita(ZL) and I have been friends of Carl and Barb since we arrived in Florida 36 years ago. We lived nearby and our kids knew each other. We attended Denise’s wedding, and got to know the grandsons a bit. Having recently lost Anita, I can offer my deepest sympathy to Barbara and all of the Rish family.
