An outgoing personality that shined through every encounter, he was always up for a conversation with a stranger at the gas station. A devout Christian, he enjoyed Sunday services at Timberline Church.

Carl retired in 2018 after 43 years of transporting the Amish. In his free time, he enjoyed spending time with his family and spoiling his grandchildren & great grandchild. One of his favorite pastimes was shining up his vehicles, even though it liked to rain the next day on them.
