When he was at Information Architected I tried to hire him but the budget disappeared. When he went to FSG he lost no time arranging lunch with me to pick my brains and to suggest we conspire to host a regular KM lunch for solo KMers like us for networking and support. Carl had a way of gathering people around him and mentoring everybody. I will treasure my pocket copy of his book on KM and the "Good luck" he wrote inside. I've needed it and will need it more without him. KM has a way of splitting into two camps - the people camp and the technology camp. Carl sat comfortably between the two and drew them closer together. One of life's great joys is to be loved for who you are, and another is to reach the top of your field and command the respect earned at that spot. Carl achieved both and never let on. Thanks for everything Carl. Thanks very much. I met Carl 6-7 years ago at a Boston KM Forum meeting and at many subsequent KM events ans conferences.

Despite having just met me, he patiently and promptly replied to all my emails and answered all of my questions. He even hosted me at his workplace to show me what he had been doing. You really couldn't ask for a warmer reception to the KM community. As this example illustrates, he was one of the good guys. He will be sorely missed.

Every time I saw him over the following years, he taught me something (without seeming to) through his thoughtful questions. And he invariably made me smile because he was smiling too.

His "cheerful skepticism" about KM solutions made him a phenomenal resource, and he was unrelentingly generous with his time and ideas. The news is shocking and sad, and we'll miss our colleague and friend in the KM community. We've lost a titan.
