Carl was an honest, hard-working man, living and striving to maintain a happy family. Sacrificing a college experience to work two jobs in support of a family, he proved trustworthy to friends and invaluable to family. Besides his job as at a camera shop, he worked at a metal fabricating plant. Carl knew well the dangers of working with the hot molten metal and kept very close attention to keeping himself out of harm so as to be a constant source for his children, but he couldn’t be aware of a more insidious foe: asbestos. Although companies were well aware of the dangers of the toxic material, they hid the information at the time so as to keep up a steady profit. Workers such as Carl were hindered by this deception.
Carl was recently diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare type of lung cancer, as a result of working near the asbestos for 45 years. Carl had held strong for those many years, working from 9 am to 5 pm at the camera shop, and then from 7 pm to 4 am at the metal fabricating plant, only sleeping three hours a night. His wife, Jean, is shocked and horrified at the sudden appearance of cancer, caused from such a devious carcinogen. His family waits as his last six months of life toll away.
