Sincere condolences from the Desbordes/West family. May you rest in peace.

Carlos was a dear friend of mine. I met him when I was about eight years old. He was working in a cut-rate store on Madison Avenue and Biddle Street. I also worked there to stock shelves and run errands. Later, I followed him to the Lucky Number and other venues. Throughout the years, we bumped into each other, and it was always a pleasure. Carlos was a Baltimore legend. I will miss seeing him. RIP, my friend.

Dear Acquanetta and Family,

Our sincere condolences, prayers, and love to the entire family. Carlos was a wonderful friend, great musician, and man of God.

Love in Christ Jesus,

Dear Acq and Family:

Pam and I were very saddened when we learned about the demise of one of my Very BEST Friends, Carlos. However, during times like this, we have always found Peace and Closure in the following: "BUT NOW THEY DESERVE A BETTER COUNTRY, THAT IS, AN HEAVENLY, WHEREFORE GOD IS NOT ASHAMED TO BE CALLED THEIR GOD, FOR HE HATH PREPARED FOR THEM A CITY" (HEBREWS 11-16--KJV
We are certain that Your FAITH will continue to SUSTAIN You now and in the days and weeks to come.

Mervin and Pam McCoy

To the family of Carlos. I am sorry to read about the loss of your loved one. The pain is tremendous even with the passage of time. There are scriptures in the Bible to help provide relief of grief and distress. Please read Ps 65:2 that reads "The Hearer of prayers a source of comfort in times of grief and distress

Carlos was an incredible individual. In the past, my friends and I would dance to his captivating music. He had a remarkable talent for playing the saxophone. For many years, he performed at the Sphink Club and the Sportsmen’s Lounge, which used to be known as Lenny Moore's Lounge. RI.P.

Carlos was a great person, down to earth, funny and compassionate. I knew him going back to his days at the Campanella Building at Crownsville where he demonstrated his careing humility with everyone with whom he came in contact.
He was a wonderful saxophone player, mentor and music historian for decades.
He will be greatly missed!
