Carl Fredrick Wilhelm Lange, 97, died Thursday, December 16, 1993 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Born October 17, 1896 in Stettin, Germany to August F. and Emma Mattick Lange. Married June 14, 1922 to Blanche Hill in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.He was an active member of the Hawthorne Ward and served in many positions.

Carl was an unpretentious man with simple taste, but a warm human being with a genuine love for other people. He extended his friendship and assistance to those he found in need, particularly the elderly, all of his life. He was a very special grandfather, great-grandfather and uncle to the children in his extended family. Fishing, his favorite sport, provided peace and tranquility in the beauty of nature. He never missed an opening day until he was in his 80's and especially enjoyed this sport in the company of his sons. His wit and humor brought a bright moment to all who touched his life. Even in the past three years when he required assistance in daily living, the staff, the residents, and all the visitors knew and loved this cheerful, gentle man.
Survived by his wife, Blanche; three sons: Raymond (Barbara), Donald (Eleanor), and Keith (Alice); 10 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Elsa Bluhm, Salt Lake City; and Margaret James, Rock Springs, Wyoming. Preceded in death by two brothers and one sister.
