Dennis Tufano wrote a sympathy message

“May Carl’s soul full of music play on. He loved all music. His involvement with the evolution of The Buckingjams and numerous other up and coming acts was his mission. He was the first to insist we make a record. His promotion style for acts was unique and powerful. Loved and respected Carl will always be a huge part of the musical history of Chicago. RIP paisano 🎵🙏🏻🎵 In loving memory of Carl Bonafede, Sharing in your sorrow. With love and friendship.”
