Carl George Born , Age 99


November 07, 1921 --May 10, 2021

Carl George Born, 99 of Merrimac, Wisconsin went to be with our Lord on Monday, May 10, 2021. Carl was born on November 7, 1921 in Leland, Wisconsin to Charles and Ida (Geick) Born. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his brother and sister-in-law Frederick and Leola Born.

Carl is survived by his nephew, Robert Born, Sr. of Baraboo, WI; his nieces, Mary (Erv) Staszewski of New Lisbon, WI, Connie Belter of Baraboo, WI, and Deb (Harry) Kowalke of Appleton, WI. He is also survived by 7 great nieces and nephews and 15 great-great nieces and nephews, along with cousins and a wonderful group of friends and neighbors.

Carl was a dairy farmer for a good share of his life, when he retired from that he continued to live in his home until the last couple days of his life. This was his home for 63 years and meant the world to him. Carl was a quiet, gentle man who was always willing to lend a hand. When someone needed help or something fixed, he was the person they came to; saying "no" was not a part of his vocabulary.

Carl was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Baraboo. His faith was the foundation and cornerstone of his life. He was always ready to discuss a bible passage or quote a verse that was appropriate for the situation. He will be dearly missed by many people, but hopefully he left an impression on your heart that when you think of him it will bring a smile to you.

Services will be held Monday, May 17, 2021 at the Redlin Funeral Home in Baraboo, WI. Visitation will be at 10:00 a.m. with a service at 11:00 a.m. Burial in Indian Farm Cemetery, Columbia County. Memorials to be made to St. John's Lutheran Church, Baraboo.

Carl will be very missed by our family. Many years of Christmas Caroling and Carl standing at the door smiling and waving. He was patient with our grandkids and let them crack nuts and investigate all his "treasures" on the porch. He had many words of wisdom and was grateful for all his visitors, except the moles.

Always enjoyed visiting with Carl. He always remembered me and had some interesting stories to tell. We will miss him in the neighborhood. I'm sure Carl, Lila, Al and all the other old neighbors are having a fun time up in heaven now.
