Carl was a very dedicated and devoted family man. He was well known throughout the local community as he served as a Bus Driver for the local school district for 40 years. He truly loved his job and the children looked up to Carl as a mentor and friend while his coworkers loved him as family. He could often be found training new drivers and showing them the ropes and loved to help those who needed it. Known as a jokester among his family, Carl enjoyed a good laugh and loved to be camping with his friends and family. On the weekends, he could often be found enjoying a coffee or two with his friends discussing the week's events. He will be lovingly remember but sadly missed by not only his family and friends but by all the children who have come to known him over the years.
