Carl was an only child and lost his dad at a very young age. Carl was blessed to have a loving mother who married Charlie Cox and helped keep the farm from going under during the Great Depression. Carl was able to start working for the Manhattan Project at Oak Ridge Tennesse, and was one of the first 100 employees with site building during the early years of Oak Ridge. Carl eventually got into the shipping and inventory as an expeditor. He was proud of the 40 + years of service working at K-25, Y-12, and X-10. Like many workers, he suffered health issues and was able to obtain DOL Health Care during his last years of life. Carl enjoyed trading and flea markets all of his life. Carl married Martha Ammons in 1948 and of his marriage were born 5 children. After his divorce, Carl married Pearl Stewart DeFoor in 1969. Carl enjoyed going to church with Pearl. They traveled all over East TN and Georgia together attending church, revivals, and singings. Carl lost Pearl in August, 2008.
