Carl missed Betty and all the wonderful times they had; he is now home with her. Carl worked at True Temper and retired from Pickens’s Plastics after many years of devoted service. Carl was a person with a great work ethic and took great pride in being able to support his family through the many years of dedicated hard work. Although Carl and Betty did many things as a couple; Carl enjoyed fishing in the river behind the hospital, being outdoors and the peacefulness of the day. There was nothing like a good game of horseshoes and the constant chatter about who had more skills at placing a ringer. A wonderful gardener, Carl tried his hand at growing grapes, and having had good success he shared with many. He also raised vegetables and shared them with his neighbors and family. A good day for Carl was a cold Genesee beer after hard work, a large portion of shrimp and being with his family.
