He met the love of his life, Linda Tubbs, in 1971 while they were both Air Force officers stationed in San Antonio, Texas. They were married in 1973 in Fairplay.

Carl was a beloved PopPop to his five grandchildren, who were the center of his world: Joshua Wiedeman, Adrianna Wiedeman, Alaina Ledbetter and Jackson Ledbetter of Azle, Texas and Hanna Voss of Norristown, Pennsylvania. Carl found immense joy in spending time with all his grandchildren, creating countless memories they will cherish forever.

He maintained close relationships with many cherished friends that he met with daily for coffee at McDonalds for over 30 years. He was an Azle softball staple where he never missed a single home game cheering from the stands.
