Carl Vincent Schnoebelen

CARL VINCENT SCHNOEBELEN came into the world on October 3, 1930 and in the early morning hours, of April 6, 2026, the son of Oswald and Anna (Schaffer) Schnoebelen was welcomed into heaven by God’s open arms.

A man of quiet dignity and selflessness, he raised his family by example. A devoted husband and constant companion to his loving wife, Connie for over 70 years. Together they raised a family of four.

Along with his wife, Carl is survived by his children; Julie (Michael) Haggerty; Steve (Traci) Schnoebelen; Jenny (Willie) Farrell; and Peter (Jami) Schnoebelen along with 12 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Duane and Kenneth and his sister Darlene Donahue.

As a Korean War veteran, he proudly served his country in the US Air Force for almost three years. One of his greatest achievements during that time was a chance meeting while attending college in Greeley, Colorado and convincing our beautiful mother through poetic letters to marry him.

He started a printing company in the basement of his home and eventually was able to purchase his own building. He operated C&K Printing, for over 40 years. “I never dreamed I would ever get this big!” he would comment. Carl already believed that he was fully blessed and the richest man in the world!!
