Carl was a farmer, growing the best tomatoes and corn. Many times, he left fields of soybeans uncut because the turkey and deer were feeding there. He loved the many pets he had over his lifetime.  He had a special way with all animals.  Carl was a huge baseball fan; his favorites were any team on which his son played and the Deltaville Deltas. Car racing was another sport he enjoyed.  Days spent with friends and family were the best for Carl.   In later years, Carl resided at Walter Reed Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. He made many good friends among the staff and patients there. Carl spent as much time as he could in his patio garden, growing vegetables to give away.
