Carl lived a full life marked by dedication, hard work, and a quiet, steady strength. He was deeply committed to his family and the values that guided him throughout his life.
Carl was employed for many years with Uniroyal in Mishawaka, Indiana, and later retired from Nicholas Plastics in Allendale, Michigan, in 2009. He was known throughout his career for his strong work ethic and reliability.
