Carl was a recovering drug addict and alcoholic who by the grace of his Higher Power was sober over 33 years through the aid of Alcohol Anonymous. He genuinely cared and found pleasure in helping those in recovery. Carl was a hard worker and had great talents in remodeling his home. He was not afraid to speak his mind at times to get his point across, especially during political discussions. He was an avid golfer, enjoyed bowling, playing baseball and loved landscaping and gardening.
Carl was an excellent husband and companion to Jane and loved his family dearly. He adored his grandchildren and looked forward to times spent with them.
In his quiet time, Carl could be found reading Westerns, history or philosophy with his dog Sophie at his side.
