Our father, Carl, lived 85 years, 4 days, 13 hours and 15 minutes until his body could no longer support him. He passed knowing he was surrounded by the family he loved and who loved him.
Carl shared 53 years of marriage with Frances (Vitale) until her passing on September 24, 2008. Together they raised 3 children, several family pets and eventually welcomed Bridget’s husband and their 4 children, and Cathy’s life partner, into the family. They taught us how to live a good life sull of food, passion and fun, Italian Style!
Carl is survived by children, Catherine (Cindy) of Almena, WI, Bridget (Willie) Box of Rockford, and Carl Jr. of Rockford, 4 grandchildren, Joel Anthony Box, Jerimiah Box, Lydia (Joshua) Barrett and Isahia Box and 1 great-grandson, Tru Hopson (Lydia).

He is preceded in death by, wife, Frances (Vitale), Parents, Catherine and Tony, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and 1 dog and 6 cats.
If you were lucky enough to meet Carl, you met a man who loved life. He truly lived the saying, “Live, Laugh, Love”.

Live life on your terms, show respect to EVERYONE and if you shake their hand, shake it firmly.

Laugh, socialize, and be moved by the joy and beauty that surrounds you.

Love unconditionally and unceasingly.
