Carl was born in Los Angeles, Calif., on April 28, 1932, to George and Marguerite Scott. He grew up in Los Angeles, joined the DeMolay in his teens, played football for Fremont High School and graduated from Fremont High School. Carl went to work in a cabinet shop after high school and worked there for several years.

He had met Lois Ostronik in the 9th grade and married her four years later on June 30, 1951, after graduating from high school. They lived in Alhambra, Calif., where Carl joined the San Gabriel Fire Department in 1955.

Carl was also associate guardian of Job’s Daughters #121 from 1973 to 1992.

Carl and Lois and their children had a great home life. Carl was a firefighter and on his days off was a contractor, brick mason and master carpenter. He built multiple pieces of beautiful furniture, including a beautiful oak cradle for his great-granddaughters.

Carl and Lois moved to Bishop, Calif., after he retired from the fire department in 1992. He joined the Winnedumah Lodge of Bishop #287 in 1997. Carl was worshipful master of that lodge four times.
