Carl George Vargo
A man of faith, dignity, respect, and love. . .
Carl George Vargo passed away the morning of May 1st, 2024.
He is preceded in death by his parents; Andrew and Josephine Vargo, his sister; Barbara Muir, and his brother; Sonny.
He was a graduate of St. Agnes High School, class of 1965, and a veteran of the United States Army from 1965 to 1968.
Always referring to her as “Honey”, or “My Love”; Carl and his wife, Linda (Donnelly), celebrated 55 years of marriage (05/01/1969), the morning of his death and raised two boys, Mark (Royal Oak) and Christopher (Grand Blanc).
He leaves behind a loving and supportive family and many friends, including; his beautiful granddaughters; Riley B., Stella, and Cecilia, his daughter-in-law; Kelly, his sisters-in-law; Denise Brooks and Erin Moss, his brother-in-law; Dennis Root, his nephews; Michael Root, Paul Allen, Adam Moss, Andrew Muir, Chad and Bryan Hurd, his nieces; Christa Benner, Amber Moss, Katie and Frances Donnelly, and his best friend; Phil Allen.
Carl and Linda celebrated their faith as members of St. Matthew’s Parish since 1971; where Carl was an usher for 45 years.
He was a retiree of General Motors of 46 years and a member of the National Ski Patrol at Mt. Holly for 31 years.
When Carl and Linda weren’t having a “date night” at Luigi’s, the A&W, or just a movie, they were busy planning and anticipating time spent with their family.
Carl leaves this world as he did each and every day, and every person that he had contact with: better than before.
All of our Love, God Bless. . .

I am happy to have had the chance to talk with Carl in recent years so that I could know him as an adult after growing up with him as my classmate at St. Agnes. I appreciate that moment, that he was a good husband, father and human and I thank him for his service to our country. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort in remembering their beautiful time with him on this earth.
