Carl was a collector of music trivia and vinyl (he called himself The Czar of Rock and Roll), stories, and jokes. He was always ready to join a party and have some fun.

Big Carl loved history, genealogy, the NY Yankees, games of chance and cards and never missed viewing the Triple Crown races or placing a wager on the Super Bowl. His remarkable personality and stature made him stand out and above any crowd.
