On June 12th, 2023, Budweiser lost its most loyal customer. Uncle Carl was a sick man, he also had cancer. He passed surrounded by so much love. Crusty lived a very eccentric life. He knew at a young age he wanted to be a United States Marine. After a combat tour in the Vietnam War, he decided he wanted to be an entertainer. He found himself dressed up like a woman playing semi-professional baseball for the California Cuties! Uncle spent his days living life to the fullest, the life of the party, a valiant vocalist, a sports enthusiast, a clever comedian, and everyone's favorite uncle! Crusty loved the ladies, his Budweiser and most of all his friends and family. Anyone who met Uncle Carl left with a memory that makes you smile for decades to come. Whether it was hanging out around the kitchen table, fun in the sun on a float trip, a game or one of the many family celebrations. When you think of Crusty, think of happiness and socks! Carl leaves behind an abundance of adoring family and friends who will carry on his remixes!

"May you have fair winds and following seas."
