Carman was born in New Chelsea and made his living working in construction as a surveyor and site inspector. His love for the outdoors was evident in his many hunting and fishing trips with his friends and family. He loved boating and built many in his lifetime- from little pond boats to his final legacy, a 22 ft. cabin cruiser. His love for his family was his main priority and they were always his main focus and concern.

Special thanks to the staff of Glenbrook Lodge for taking exceptional care of him over the past 17 months.
