He enjoyed shopping, going to the park, and going out to eat. Carl was a very kind and generous man. He wanted anyone he came in contact with to feel good and important. He always expressed gratitude and appreciation for everyone and everything. Carl was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Mary Ann Barringer Biver, and his oldest daughter Lori Ann Biver.
