He grew up in the small farm community of Vermont, IL, graduated from high school in 1948, and entered the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict. Carl was known for his dance moves and as a young man was nicknamed "Fred Astaire." After thirty-two years of life in darkness, he was wonderfully saved and made a new creation. Indeed, all things passed away and everything in his life was made new! He married Jacquelane Rae Sexton in May 1956. He was a loving and caring father to his four children – Carla Jeanne Guilfoyle (Terry and granddaughter Cara) of Bartlesville, OK; Jeffrey Alan Sexton (Michele and granddaughter Nicole/grandson Trenton) of Franklin, TN; Carolyn Rae Horjus (Pete and granddaughter Rachel); and Marilyn Kay Johnson (Kenric and grandsons Jeremy, Bryant, Andrew/granddaughter Sherri).

Jackie passed away December 18, 2001, and shortly thereafter Carl made his new home in Nashville, TN.

It was at Nashville First that Carl met Marita Smith, and they were married March 14, 2003. He and Marita ministered together in Worship Ministries, the Emmaus Fellowship, as part of the Ambassadors Sunday School class and most recently as an integral part of the Koininia Sunday School class.
Carl's professional career was as a sewing machine salesman/repairman and retired as a sole proprietor of the Bartlesville Sewing Center in Bartlesville, OK. He loved fishing (and has passed those genetics along to his son and grandsons), working puzzles, playing pool at the Hendersonville Senior Center, playing dominoes and the card game "Hand and Foot;" and, once cleared by the General Assembly and the Board of General Superintendents of the Global Church of the Nazarene, graced the dance floor again in his later years. Carl was a self-taught musician and loved playing the piano.

As he came to the end of his journey in this realm, it was plainly evident that he was ready to be with the Lord. In his final few days he expressed a certain level of frustration that he was lingering on earth. His family had the wonderful privilege of seeing how a saint lives and how a saint dies. They are praising God today and celebrating with you the life in Christ that Carl has now fully realized.

Will be having a committal at Memorial Park, July 30th at 9:00 am.
