Despite Carl never really appearing in the spotlight at all, it's clear he made an incredible impact on a lot of people.
Honestly, it's nothing short of amazing how he managed to stay so private while married to one of the most famous women in America. Most people crave attention.
He was the exact opposite. He wanted nothing to do with it. The man worked in the asphalt business. How epic is that?
The man was married to an icon and just went about his business like it was no big deal. That should be a model for a lot of people, because I have no doubt he lived a very happy life doing it.
