Carl Raymond battled lymphoma in 2006 through 2008. He was cancer free
until September of 2015. Since then he has fought MDS then leukemia. He was
fighting his leukemia with chemo at Emory for 45 days until it was apparent that
the leukemia did not go into remission. Now Carl has gone home on hospice. The
chemo that Carl suffered through did not get rid of his leukemia. The leukemia
cells have reappeared in his blood.
We wanted him to be in his home instead of in a hospital or rehab. So we
are back home in Pelham. We will see how he feels in the next days, but is not
up for any visits.
You are all welcome to call, write, message or email.
Thank you for the outpouring of love and prayers throughout this difficult
time for us.

Kathy, I flew with Carl quite a bit when I was an MD-88 copilot. You joined us on one trip to ABQ many, many years ago. We rented a car and drove to Scandia peak. Carl was a fine man and a great pilot. I was sorry to learn of his passing. You and the family are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I had the great privilege to get to know Carl, first, when he was a ground school instructor in my early days as a pilot, and later, when I managed the B727 New Hire training program, and hired Carl as an instructor. He was a class act in every respect, and I have many happy memories of our times together. My sincere sympathy to you and the family on your loss.
ReplyDeleteDoug Cutter, retired longer than I care to remember!
Carl was a kind gentle man. On of my instructors on the DC-8.
ReplyDeleteI had the honor to fly with Carl at Delta. Both the MD88 and 757/767. I was hired late in life with Delta and most of the Captains I flew with were my age. God Speed Captain Carl.
