He was raised in Chicopee where he attended school and worked locally for many years, retiring from Rexam.
Carl married in 1963 to Theresa (Belisle) and together they raised five children, Annette, Michelle Allen, Lisa and Wayne.

He enjoyed bow hunting and fishing with his children, and spending time with his good friends. Most recently you could find him having coffee and fishing at the Chicopee Boat Ramp. He couldn’t wait for spring to fish for stripers in his boat in the river where he caught many keepers.
