Pittstown- Joseph F. “Joe” Carl, 72, a resident of Factory Hollow Road since 1985, died suddenly, Wednesday, March 2, 2016, at Samaritan Hospital in Troy after being stricken at his home.
Born April 8, 1943 in Troy, Joe was the son of the late Edward and Josephine (Yetto) Carl and for over 51 years the devoted husband of Karen (Goerold) Carl of Pittstown who survives. Joe and Karen were married on April 11, 1964.
As a young boy Joe, who grew up in Wynantskill, attended the Wynantskill School and later, Troy High School.
On October 3, 1960, he enlisted in the United States Army. During basic training he was awarded the Marksman medal and on August 6, 1961, was honorably discharged to the National Guard of New York to fulfill his military commitment. Joe was very proud to serve our Country with the National Guard and retired after more than 30 years of service.
Joe worked for a time at the former Fitzgerald Electric in Wynantskill and later was a self employed licensed electrician for several years. In the early 1980’s he was employed as the Superintendant of the Hoosick Falls Armory by New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs. After more than 20 years of service he retired in April 2005.
Joe was a long-time member of the Wynantskill Volunteer Fire Company and served as an usher for the Tri-City ValleyCats for 10 years where he enjoyed the company of staff, players and fans. He was eagerly awaiting Spring so he could play golf and work in his yard. He loved being around his many friends and would always do whatever he could to assist them if they needed help.
