Carl was born in Billings on May 12, 1929, the second son of the Carl (Sr) and Florence (Bishop) family. Billings is where he spent his school days, graduating from Billings Senior High in 1945. He was a proud Navy veteran, serving from 1945 – 1947. Martha Becker became his partner in life on July 19, 1947. The family became complete with children Sandi, Ray, Warren and Molly. Carl’s career was in the furniture business; first as a salesman then as the manager of Self Service Furniture in Billings. He retired in 1991. Carl and Martha enjoyed numerous long vacations, traveling to see family and friends, as well as, spending extended weekends camping on the Boulder with their children and grandchildren. He and Martha also devoted several years to volunteering for the Special Olympics. When Carl was not working, he could be found giving a helping hand on any project, off in the mountains riding his 4 wheeler, or driving car for the Auto Auction. His wife of 68 years, his parents, his sisters Cly, Nella, Mary Lee, and his brother Woody precede him in death. He is survived by his children Sandi Emborg (Dick), Ray Francis (Cindy), Warren Francis (Debbie) and Molly Metzger (Ken), his grandchildren Nadine Francis, Raelynn (Emborg) Melber, Jamie Francis, Bryan Emborg, Travis Francis, Randy Francis, Ryan Zavarelli, Christopher Metzger and Keith Metzger, 11 great grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and many good friends. Grampa was known for his loving statements, such as, “Go play in the traffic” and “When are you leaving?” All of his grandchildren and great grandchildren also learned important life lessons at his knee, like, how to eat olives off of their fingers and that the best way to eat Gramma’s chocolate cake was in a bowl with milk poured on top. The last 4 months without his Martha were brightened by 5 year old Taylen’s Barbie drama and having his beloved “puppy”, Barney, at his side. We will celebrate Carl’s life at 11 AM on August 9, 2016, at Emmanuel Baptist Church with a reception following, Internment will be at 4 PM at Sunset Memorial Gardens. The family would like to thank the wonderful, caring people from Rocky Mtn. Hospice and especially Dad’s great neighbors. In lieu of flowers, donation may be made to Rocky Mtn. Hospice, the Special Olympics, or a charity of your choice. Smith Funeral Home Obituary 08/05/2016
