In retirement, Carl enjoyed working in his garden and mowing yards. He was a great handy man and \u201cjack of all trades\u201d. Carl enjoyed his grandchildren\u2019s activities and sporting events where he thought he was a part-time referee. He was excited about babysitting his grandchildren and he lived up to his name, Great Pa. Carl was a man of few words but showed his love in many ways. He set a great example to his family in loving his Catholic faith.<\/p>\n<p>Dad, Grandpa and Great Pa, we love you, miss you and will think of you always.
