Upon his return to the area, he founded “Twin Branch Auto” in 1957 where he dedicated himself until retirement in 2022.  On June 5, 1959 he married the love of his life, Jeanette A. Naragon and they shared over 64 cherished years together.  Carl enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, racing cars and flying planes. He loved farming and John Deere tractors but his greatest joy was the company of family and friends.

(Maddy) Snyder, Andrew B. Snyder and Rachel L. Snyder. He was the great grandfather of Greyson J. Snyder. Carl is survived by siblings, Louise Umbaugh of Osceola and Martin Fullmer of South Bend.
