Carl was a homebody in every sense of the word. He took great pride in his home, and loved to be there with his beloved wife and family, including those members of the four legged variety. Yes, Carl adored his dogs, naming them after the characters of his favorite movie. That would be none other than The Godfather. Now, there’s no surprise there. Carl was truly proud of his Italian heritage, and he loved his Italian cuisine. ( I mean, really, who doesn’t?) Pasta and sauce was at the top of Carl’s list of favorite things. Also on that list would be music. Carl loved The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Carl was also a big sports fan. His teams were the NY Yankees, the Giants, and the Patriots. The only thing Carl felt more passionate about was the Saratoga Race Track. That was Carl’s August place to be.
Carl worked as hard as he played. He was a skilled, self employed craftsman. He was a perfectionist when it came to taping and painting. He took great pride in his work, and it showed. He built a good repeat customer list. He was appreciated for being a dedicated responsible businessman of good integrity.
Carl will be well remembered, and greatly missed.
