Carl’s favorite times were those spent with his family, especially vacationing at Hampton Beach, and including their deep sea fishing excursions, the family cruise to Bermuda, and trips to Aruba and Hawaii. His family brought him so much happiness and he loved them more than anything in this world. He could not have been any prouder of his four grandchildren. We will all miss him dearly.
