He spent over five decades in Rochester, Pennsylvania, where he built a rich and fulfilling life. Carl dedicated a full career to the Eaton Corporation (formerly Westinghouse) before retiring in 2000.

Carl had a passion for the outdoors, finding solace in hunting and fishing. He was also known as the neighborhood handyman, always ready to lend a helping hand in his garage. If you needed your lawnmower fixed Carl was the go-to person.

In 1967, Carl married the love of his life, Norma Haag Wellman, with whom he shared 47 years of unwavering love and companionship until her passing. Together, they raised their daughter, Carla Fetherston (Matthew), who brought them immense joy and pride.

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.
