Carl loved spending time with family, especially the grandkids. He was always an outdoorsman. Enjoyed hunting, fishing, and the quality time with family at Deer Camp. He was an avid turkey hunter, or as he would say, “if it’s in season, we hunt it”. He would even once a year take off to different state to hunt elk and other specialties. Mushroom season was a time when all the grandkids and his kids could not wait to be in that flat-bottom john boat headed to the islands for the “Biggins” and “treasure swamps” of mushrooms or to check fishing lines. He was always smiling and making jokes, and enjoyed teaching the kids the outdoor things and four-wheeling. Honorary pallbearers will be Charles “Butch” Harrison, Kenneth Harrison, Richard Harrison, Ross Harrison, Paul Rousan, and Paul Elliott. Active pallbearers will be Arcada McCulley, Steven Harrison, Glen Wharton, Tommy McLeod, Kenneth Harrison II, and John Miller. Memorials may be given to the family in care of Collier Funeral Home in Louisiana, MO.
