Carl Wooldridge Obituary

Carl Bennett passed away Wednesday, March 30, 2011. He was born November 16, 1943 in Dallas, Oregon. Carl proudly served his country for twenty years in the United States Navy and went on to a successful career as an Electrical Engineer.

A man of incredible strength and integrity, Carl lived for his family. His children, Carl, Brice, Jim, Holly and Craig will always miss him. His wife and best friend of 33 years, Susanne, will carry his memory with the same optimism, love and dignity that Carl gave so freely to those of us who knew him. Carl was a man of few words, making each word much more valuable to the lucky few. He was a private man as well, in that he would wish to pass on in the same manner.

Thank you for all that you gave to us, you will be sorely missed.

There will be a memorial service for on Tuesday, April 5, 2011. The service will be at 10:00 AM at Foothills Baptist Church.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

So sorry for your loss. I remember Carl well from high school. He would come by in the morning and give me a ride to school in his 1955 Pontiac. I remember it oh so well. Will be thinking of him at our 50th class reunion this year...
