Carl was born in Connecticut and raised in Stratford. He was a 1948 graduate of Stratford High School and a 1951 graduate of the University of Bridgeport. Carl was a Trumbull resident for nearly 60 years. He was a Certified Public Accountant for 63 years and proud owner of his public accounting firm in Stratford for 58 years.
An avid sports fan, Carl was a New York Rangers season ticket holder for 50 years. He also was civically minded, serving as a member and treasurer of the Stratford/Trumbull Civitan Club, Stratford Softball Tournaments, Inc., Union Cemetery and Valley Horseshoe League.
He will be remembered by all for his kind, generous and helpful nature. Carl was a tireless worker and a strong, loving and supportive man. Above all, Carl was happiest in the presence of — and making memories with — his treasured family and friends.

He is also survived by his 12 cherished grandchildren Mary Kate, Meg, Dan and his wife Natasha, Tricia, Matt, Aileen, Kathryn, Brad, Amy, Chris, Blake and Emily, as well as many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his late parents, Carl is predeceased by his brother Ernest Alber and sister Doris Kerrigan.
