Having met Mr Carl Thomas Halvorsen over fifty years ago I will always remember him for the Kindness and Respect that he had always shown to me as a young man and I felt it a Privilege to become reacquainted with him just over a year ago as we consistently conversed with each other online.
Godspeed Carl as you are a Deeply Loved Man by all.
