He was known for his beautiful baritone voice, and recorded an album of his favorite hymns. He loved family, church, choir, and Bible study. The legacy of Bob Carlen and his faithful service will carry on in the many lives he touched, his bride of 60 years, 3 children and spouses, 9 grandchildren and spouses, 7 great-grandchildren and many friends.
