He later went to work in the insurance industry, working for the Aid Association for Lutherans which later became Thrivent. During his time with Thrivent, he worked in Blue Earth, Mankato, and New Ulm, eventually retiring in 2013. As a man who needed to stay busy, in his retirement Carl worked at MBW Company of New Ulm where he was quite instrumental in getting their clients to go on out of town trips for enjoyment. Carl also worked in retirement as an archivist for Minnesota Valley Testing Labs of New Ulm. Besides all of his work, there were a variety of hobbies he enjoyed in life. He loved attending and partaking in his family’s activities as well as socializing with friends at card club. He took tremendous pride in keeping his lawn as well as his cars in impeccable shape. He also enjoyed starting each day with a laugh and a visit with local friends over a cup of coffee and a treat at the Backeri.

Carl was a devout and dedicated member of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church where he took part on numerous board positions over the years, as well as men’s bible study.

His quick-witted sense of humor and his ability to lead by example will forever be remembered by his family. He was a wonderful provider, husband, father and papa. These memories and countless others will forever stay in the hearts and minds of all who knew him best. Blessed be those memories.
