Carl was born on July 1, 1940, to the late Carl Vee and Madeline (Coss) Dewyer in Vincennes, Indiana.
On April 24, 1965 Carl married his soulmate Marianne (Coppes) and enjoyed nearly 59 years of marriage.

Carl was preceded in death by his parents and brothers Troy, Terry and Sam.
After graduating from Bowling Green High School in 1958, Carl enlisted in the United States Army and served in Korea, before returning home to Bowling Green. Carl then continued his pursuit of public service and became a firefighter with the Bowling Green Fire Department, serving over 27 years.
As an avid outdoorsman, Carl was the President of the Northwest Ohio Fur Traders Association from 1986-1990. He also enjoyed fishing on Lake Erie for walleye and pike on Big Star Lake in Baldwin, Michigan.
His huge heart made it easy for him to always make a friend wherever he went. He lived life to the fullest, sharing his knowledge good or bad with everyone he knew. His delicious cooking and great stories will never be forgotten. There was never a dull moment with him around.
