Carl embraced the Rotary club’s motto of Service Above Self. He built a successful business with Carl Oake Century 21 United Realty. Despite the busy life of an entrepreneur, Carl invested much of his time and resources in building a stronger community through charitable work. He raised more than $1.4 million over 38 years through his annual swimathon, raising funds for Easter Seals and rotary community projects. Carl served on numerous boards, fundraised for many charitable causes, and was recognized for his work with quite a few awards, including the Chamber’s Business Citizen of the Year back in 2002. There’s far too much to list here in the Business Beat, but there’s no doubt he has left our community a better place. |
