He graduated from Lomira High School in 1966 and proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1967-1970, which included a tour in Vietnam as a tank commander. He was united in marriage to the love of his life Terri Mihelich in November 1977. Carl was an avid hunter and fisherman, having bagged some very memorable bucks over the years.

In addition to his parents, Carl was preceded in death by his sister, Sharon Schmidt and father-in-law, Ted Mihelich.
Relatives and friends may meet with the family Thursday, December 15, 2022 at the funeral home from 11:30 a.m. until time of service at 1:00 p.m., officiated by Robert Schustedt.
