My sincere condolence to the DeStefano family. Carl was great guy. He was great union president. He was always there when you needed him. If you had a problem, Carl was there to get to bottom of it.
Rest in Peace Carl.

Time spent with Carl was time well spent. How greatly he brightened our St. Angela luncheons.

DeStefano family --
We were very sorry to learn of Carl's passing and know he will be greatly missed.
We first met Carl at The Farragut, where he was always responsive, helpful and truly caring about the building as well as its students and staff. And of course we won't forget his wonderful Christmas staff lunches, especially the sausage and peppers!
Later I was lucky to work at the Pershing hdqrts when he was in charge there. Again, every one seemed to know and rely on him.
Finally my brother-in-law and I ehjoyed the season Bear tix we got through him for several years. Often the best part of the game was being with Carl. We were always tickled by his winter coat, with a sandwich in one pocket, a thermos in another, a piece of fruit in still another.
It was a pleasure and a privilege to know Carl.
