Carl graduated from high school from St Francis Seminary. He received his undergraduate and Masters degrees from Marquette University.

Carl and Mary Joan were inseparable and truly enjoyed life together. He was a devoted father who loved camping, fishing, hunting and Marquette basketball games.

His legacy will live on in the hearts, minds and lives of everyone he interacted with.
