Carl Kasell memorial haiku

God's not home right now;
Leave your prayer at the beep.
Thanks - Carl Kasell.

This is lovely. Making me all sniffly. He was an extraordinary man.

The tributes from his colleagues that ran on ME and ATC were beautiful, weren't they? Peter Sagal's reduced me to tears.

I follow Peter on Twitter and he tweets there about guiding blind runners. I agree it's extraordinary. I remember the day of the Boston bombing they had just finished the race and were within a few hundred yards of one of the bombs. Then there was the time a few years before that when a car sideswiped him on his bike and he suffered only minor injuries. The man leads a charmed life - maybe that's the effect brownie points gained by all the good work he does. :)
