Carl was a 1953 graduate of Russia High School and a life-long fan of the Cleveland Browns and Ohio State Buckeyes. He played and coached softball for over 40 years.  Talk to anybody in the area over 40 and they knew “Mo” and his love for softball.

Carl was a member of St. Denis Catholic Church in Versailles. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the family will have a private service at their convenience. In honoring Carl’s wishes, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Darke County “State of the Heart Care” Hospice or the Cancer Association of Darke County. Arrangements are entrusted to Bailey Zechar Funeral Home in Versailles.
