Carl was a member of St. Helen Parish and served his country honorably in the Army for 2 years. Carl went on to work for 20 years at Paint America/Warehouse Paint Center serving at Upper Management Capacity. Carl was grateful to gain many lifelong friends during this time. He eventually moved on to his passion, Financial Advising and Investment Managing, and began using his knowledge to help others plan for their future. Carl invested 38 years serving his clients well, due to his caring nature. Throughout his career he made so many friends that have become a part of his family.

In the last week, Carl received so many kind messages but the one word that was used repeatedly and describes Carl perfectly was selfless. Carl will forever be remembered as “Captain Carl” the father of 6 girls with his beautiful bride Linda, as he lovingly referred to her.
