He liked all sports and enjoyed golf with family and friends whenever he got the chance. Carl also was a huge Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers fan. He began collecting sports memorabilia as a boy and continued throughout his life. Carl's two younger brothers looked up to him and had a close relationship with him and they remember him as what a big brother should be.
