 Carl was born in Bluffdale, Utah on January 8, 1927 to Heber Charles and Nellie J. 
Tall Parry. He married Janet Holmes August 8, 1953 in Elko, Nevada. Their marriage

father and adored his grandchildren: Arica, Ashton, Abby, Colton, Chase, Conner, and

 Carl worked at Geneva Steel for 35 years. After retirement, he worked for the Fish

outdoors. 

 He has served his country in the Navy (twice) Seabees and National Guard. Carl 
loved the Gospel and was an active member of the LDS Church serving in the Explorer 
program. As Explorer Advisor he helped make many kayaks and for many summers 
took the boys to Shoshone Lake and Snake River. He served in the High Priest Group 
and was presently serving on the Stake Farm Committee and as a home teacher. He 
loved attending the temple. Carl served as president of the Pleasant Grove Sportsman 
and as a District Director for Utah Wildlife Federation. He has also served as an 
auxiliary policeman. He loved to don his Indian head dress and tell the Legend of
