I met Dr. Carb as a student in the mid 1980's. He became my advisor when I changed majors from math & computer science to become an English major. My most cherished memory of him is his kindness in remembering me, long after I had left Glassboro State. He made sure I got the message of his greeting when I needed my transcripts forwarded to my nursing school for college the second time around.
In the end, Dr. Carb, I went back to my first loves of math and computer science -- with my literary skills intact. Thank you for your solid advice, counseling, and for believing in me.
RIP ~{~ B.A.Dow, Nurse Informatic

Because of Dr. Carb, I changed my major to English :-) He opened my eyes to the joys of Shakespeare and gave me faith that I could teach high school students to find pleasure in the readings as well. He was such an amazing man... I will always remember him.

I had Dr. Carb for both Shakspeare 1 and 2 as well as Modern European Lit. and I can't say enough how much of an impression he had on me. He was a wonderful teacher and so full of life. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

I will always love "Much Ado About Nothing" because of my time as a student of Dr. Carb! Because of him, a love of some clever lines of anything Shakespeare occasionally float through my mind!

It was my absolute privilege to have Dr. Carb for three classes at Rowan. After one semester, every time I had the opportunity, I took a class with him. He taught me so much about Shakespeare and I'm honored to have been his student. I would stop by his office to ask him a question, and over an hour later we would still be talking.
I know that much of my knowledge and ability to write comes from what Dr. Carb taught me at Rowan.
His passing is a tremendous loss to the world of academia, and what he did while he was here will last forever in the knowledge he imparted upon countless generations.

While I did not have the pleasure of having Dr. Carb as an instructor, I did have occasion to try to persuade him to allow me to add a couple of classes to my schedule. He was caring, precise, and an engaging and fun debate opponent. Most importantly, he demonstrated that he had my best interests at heart. I will never forget shaking hands with him during my graduation. Even though he didn’t know me well, his firm hand shake told me he was proud of me. He made me feel like he would never forget me, either. I am truly saddened by our loss, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.

There are only 3 things I remember from my time at GSC: "The medium is the message", the people in charge of the gym didn't like us SAB kids and Dr. Carb. In 1979, I was one of the first punk rockers to attend GSC which almost fascinated Dr. Carb. I thought I 'knew' Shakespeare until I took Shakespeare I. He cultivated my sense and sensibility of WS in mind blowing ways...Dr. Carb was sui generis, a true original. I will never forget the day I gave Dr. Carb a copy of a Cure song that quoted Kafka since I also took him for an Existentialism Literature class, in honor of those days I'll end with a Kafka quote that reminds me of Dr. Carb: “They say ignorance is bliss.... they're wrong."
I send gratitude and good thoughts to his family. Dr. Carb was a gifted, inspirational professor. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be among his former, grateful students.

Dr. Carb was one of my favorite profs when I was an English Major at Glassboro State. I'm very happy to have reconnected with him ove the past ten years and attend the celebration of his 50th year of teaching. Dr. Carb, if you get this, I hope your sharing a mug or two with Shakespeare in the great literary beyond. RIP. You'll be much missed.
love, Janet

In addressing the family of the late Dr. Nathan Carb I must say I will always remember Dr. Carb as being so passionate about his vocation to the point where the subject he taught became not merely infectious but an all-out contagion. How and what I learned during my time in his classes remains with me to this day. My biggest regret for the end of such a prolific and focused life/career is that those who've yet to attend Rowan University will never know his particular aplomb and command of the subject matter that was his alone. Dr. Carb could take his students inside of a Shakespearean play and, at the close of the class period, have them rubbing fairy dust from their eyes; the plays and his deep understanding of their meanings made it all seem almost real. It was truly the most fun I had learning.
As Puck says in the opening of his epilogue in "A Midsummer Night's Dream":
"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream..."
Dream on, Dr. Carb....and thanks.

I worked as Dr. Carb's secretary from 1990-1999. He had always joked that he will have "computer illiterate" on his tombstone. He was smart, witty, and caring. He enjoyed life, loved to read, and enjoyed his job. His love of Shakespeare's works was evident in his daily speech, as he often quoted Shakespeare.
He loved his family and was proud of them. Their pictures were placed on his desk and expanded as each grandchild was born.
RIP, Dr. Carb; you worked hard and deserve it. I'll miss you.

Hi Andrea,
It has been a few years, but I am so sorry for your loss. I miss our long talks about your hubby and Dr. Mitchell. I can still hear him saying "Carb, schmarb!" and then telling me how much he loved and respected him.I hope you are still taking wonderful care of yourself. The last time I saw you might have bween Dr. Mitchell's or Clancy Miller's funeral. It's been years since the Jenny Craig closed down in Washiungton Twp. But Nancy still asks for you often. I am a phone call away if you need anything. Love & Blessings,
