Carmel had a great sense of humor, He made us laugh and he would always say he could make an onion cry and he did. He showed us lots of love and at times he knew how to piss us off. He enjoyed the sun and he grew great tomatoes and jalapӗnos.

He served two years in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam Era. He worked at D.D.O. for 36 years retiring from Hill Air Force Base.

Friends can visit with family from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, April 11, 2016 at Lindquist’s Roy Mortuary, 3333 West 5600 South, Roy.

In lieu of flowers, the family would like you to spend time with the ones you love because life is so short.

We will miss you Dad and we love you very, very much.
