Born to Carl and Marie Reiser Wick (Mastalski) on September 3, 1957, Carl grew up in Elkhart Lake, a place where many friendships and memories were formed. Carl graduated from Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah High School in 1975.

Carl's professional career consisted of time spent as a Draftsman, Maintenance Supervisor for Sheboygan County Comprehensive Health Center, and Pine Haven Christian Home. He was also a Special Deputy for the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department.

From his early days fishing on Elkhart Lake, to hunting, or his involvement and active memberships at Whitetail Bowhunters and Sheboygan Falls Conversation Club, Carl was an avid outdoor enthusiast. He extended that love for the outdoors to the next generation-teaching his children and grandchildren hunter safety, archery, and fishing.

Carl was known for his great sense of humor and positivity throughout his life. He enjoyed gardening, cooking, lending a helping hand, and tinkering in the garage. Above all, he cherished time with his family. He was generous, caring, and will be forever missed.
