Carl graduated from Lewis and Clark High School in 1963 and after working for the United States Forestry Service entered the Washington State Patrol Academy and upon completion was commissioned a Washington State Trooper on February 9, 1968. He was a lover of the outdoors, and had many hobbies throughout his life, but his favorite was the care of his children and grandchildren.
The most important part of his life was his wife of 51 years, his four children, and grandchildren and after becoming a Roman Catholic in 1967 he lived his life walking in the footsteps of the Lord as a witness to all he met. There are no words to express how much he is missed.
