CARL W. SICKINGER
Carl, aged 80, passed away at home on Sunday, April 24th, with his wife by his side. He was a resident of Sun City for over 2- years and found great joy in watching all the wildlife that was attracted to the farm behind his house.
Carl and Mary spent many of their trips camping in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and hiking the trails of Zion National Park. He had a great love of nature, geology, and star gazing. Although he was a dog lover, one of the great pleasures of his life was taking care of his two adopted cats.
He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Mary, his sisters Karel and Gayle, his niece Bonnie, and his nephews, Michael, Steve, Phil, and Jonathan.
His kindness will be missed.

I've known Carl for over 50 years. We bought a Land Cruiser together in 1970. We camped and hiked all over the Midwest and West. He was my best friend. He was my older brother. I miss him. Love Ya Bro
