<div itemprop="description">84, passed away on Tuesday August 18, 2015 following a brief illness. He leaves his wife and best friend of 40 years, Carol Querbach (Armstrong), his sister Roxie and sister-in-law April Howie. Our paterfamilias, he also leaves his children David and Amy; Larry and Julie; Eric and Tara; Mike and Debbie; Rolf and Corrin; Kirsten and Joel; and Sash and Kerry. Beloved &ldquo;Grandpa&rdquo;, Carl is survived by his many grandchildren who were a great source of pride for him. Born in Birmingham Alabama, Carl was raised on Detroit&rsquo;s west side before coming to Windsor. He was the quintessential Renaissance Man with multiple undergraduate and graduate degrees in theology and classical studies and a PhD from the University of Michigan. Upon retirement, he resurrected one of his life&rsquo;s passions completing a BFA in visual art. He was a lifelong teacher through positions at Lutheran Colleges in Baltimore and St. Louis, a long career as a Classics professor at the University of Windsor, his seminars on rugs, coins and stamps, and his own Fiesta Bridge Club. Carl was an antique enthusiast, a coin and stamp collector, an avid reader and movie watcher, and a wonderful cook. Infinitely patient, he spent time perfecting his orchids and was a fixture in his backyard garden where he cultivated vegetables for anyone who happened to visit. Carl epitomized scholar, not only in his formal education, but in all aspects of his astounding life. When he became interested in a topic or a hobby, he developed an almost instantaneous expertise. His wisdom and experience cannot be replaced, but will be his legacy in the many lives he touched. Sharing of memories and a celebration of Carl&rsquo;s life will be held at 377 Mayfair Ave. LaSalle on Saturday, August 22, 2015 from 5p.m. &ndash; 9 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to Marcotte Funeral Home (519-735-2830).
