At Carl's request there will not be a viewing or service. In lieu of flowers or memorials, the family asks that if Carl or Dorothy touched your life, that you pay it forward and make a difference in the life of someone else in the coming year. This would be the best way to honor their memory.
Carl was born on March 2, 1941 in Babcock, WI. He married Dorothy Peterson on August 27, 1960. Throughout his career, Carl worked at the paper mill in Nekoosa, WI on the inter-mill railroad, and at the Nepco Lake pump station and Centralia Dam. Carl was an active member and Elder at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Nekoosa for most of his life. He also attended Trinity Lutheran in his later years.
