Carl started working at the age of 16 with Emery Masonry and retired after 46 years. Following retirement, Carl worked at Valley View Mall and the Omni Center. If he was able to keep working he would have.

Over the years, Carl loved to spend time with his son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons. He loved camping and riding the golf cart at Money Creek Campground, watching his grandsons grow up playing sports, racing and bowling. The last years he enjoyed going on the pontoon boat on the Mississippi River. When Carl and Mary were not camping, they went on many casino trips with their six close friends from La Crosse and bus trips to Florida and elsewhere with friends from up north. He also enjoyed watching the Green Bay Packers and NASCAR races.
