Following their marriage, they lived in San Angelo for a while and then moved to Muleshoe where they lived for 13 years. They had recently moved to Santa Anna.
While living in Muleshoe, he was a member of the Lazbuddie Church of Christ. Carl was an outspoken, unapologetic Conservative and he never missed an opportunity to tell people about Jesus. His motto was “America Bless God.” He also enjoyed roping and was a member of the National Team Roping Association and well as the National Rifle Association. He enjoyed writing poetry.
