He will always be remembered for his hilarious personality, kindness and huge infectious smile. He loved the beach and lived first in Malibu and has resided in Santa Barbara for the past 35 years.  Carl could be spotted daily at his favorite place, Hendry's Beach reading in his car and enjoying the scene. 

 

  After a long career at Engle Advertising in West LA, he retired, moved up the coast and volunteered at the Channel Islands National Park in Oxnard & also dedicated over 5000 hours at the Santa Barbara Zoo. More recently, he worked at Vista Del Monte as a musically gifted happy hour pianist and favorite pool lifeguard.  

 

He passed away peacefully on Sep 9, 2023 at Sarah House and will live on in our hearts forever. In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting the American Heart Association.
