The family gives their heartfelt thanks to Pat Boone for flying Carl home, to Jose Martinez with Gentiva Hospice for his special attention and to Gentiva Hospice for their gentle care and support.
Carl had a life-long affinity for water. From swimming the English Channel to sailing around the British Virgin Islands, he was in his natural element.
While his plans to sail around the world did not happen in this lifetime, we can smile knowing he is now on that journey.
He is preceded in death by his loving chocolate lab, Ceasar.
He is survived by his adoring wife of 26 years, Esther Cardenas Pipoly; children, Jason Pipoly, Gina Szafraniec and husband, John, Nathan Pipoly and Adyn Summer Pipoly; grandchildren, Hannah, Renee and Kayla; brother, Earl Pipoly.
There will be a Celebration of his life on Sunday, October 5, 2014 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at La Fonda on Main, 2415 N. Main Ave.
