Carl met Linda Sue Maxwell on a blind date. They were married October 23, 1971 in Enid, OK and during the marriage had 4 children. Carl was probably best known in Caldwell as a butcher at Jack Sprague’s Butcher Shop. He retired from Wal Mart in 2003.
Carl loved visiting Disney World. He always said he felt like a kid while he was there. His favorite rides were Splash Mountain and the Kali River Rapids. He would laugh when everyone got soaked! His favorite day of the week was Sundays. His children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren would gather for good food and playing cards he called this “family day”. He taught his kids and grandkids at a young age to play Pitch so he would always have plenty of partners to choose from.
