Carl served his country with honor and distinction in Qui Nhõn, Vietnam, where he served with the 134th Quarter Master Company. His service was marked by bravery and selflessness, qualities that defined him throughout his life.

Carl was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Delaney and Ted, sister-in-law Carol Wellman, nephews Gary and Pat Wellman, and his beloved wife Norma. He will be deeply missed by his daughter Carla, son-in-law Matthew, nieces, nephews, sister-in-law, and his loyal furry companion, Hardcase.
