Carl was proud of his service and later joined the Bennington Legion and was active in service to the community. Carl married Carole Wakefield on June 5, 1971, at Drake Avenue Christian Church in Centerville. For the first few years of marriage, they lived in Ottumwa, but moved to Omaha where they stayed for 30 years. During those years, they welcomed their only child, Jeff, into the world. During this time, Carl worked as a CPA for the IRS and as a tax auditor. Carl and Carole later moved to Champagne, IL where they resided for four years before deciding to return to Omaha. From a young age, Carl enjoyed listening to jazz music and attended many jazz concerts throughout his life. Carl also loved reading the newspaper and nonfiction books as well as visiting historical landmarks and national parks. During his travels, he liked to take photographs of the sites and also made time for bird watching. He was an avid train collector and was very interested in ancestry research and genealogy. Carl was a fan of both baseball and basketball games, he especially rooting for Northern Iowa University and the San Antonio Spurs. Watching sporting events with his dad is something Jeff has fond memories of. When going out to eat, Carl's favorite restaurants were Za's Italian café, Brother Sebastian's steakhouse, and Don & Millie's. He enjoyed going out for meals, but his pet peeve was receiving undercooked meat, so he was sure to go to places he knew would cook his food correctly. His family and friends will remember Carl as a man who was dedicated to his family, his country and community, and his work. He was also very smart and efficient when getting work done. Anyone could count on Carl to lend a hand when it was need. He also had a fun side to him and was known as a jokester.
