Carl Joe HAUER |
- Carl was born May 9, 1927, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, one of six kids to Carl and Elizabeth Schlotthauer. Carl spent several years growing up in an orphanage and a farm foster home following the untimely passing of his parents. Carl’s early life taught him farming and ranching skills that would shape his character and belief in hard work and perseverance. As a young teenager, he struck out on his own and headed west to Texas where he found work on a ranch near Amarillo.
Barely 16, Carl enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in September of 1943. He trained at Camp Elliott, San Diego, California with the Raiders. His WWII Pacific Theater tour of combat duty as a Machine Gun Crewman and BAR rifleman included the islands of Saipan, Guam, Tinian, and Okinawa where he was wounded and received the Purple Heart Medal.
Carl returned to the states after the war and began a career in the oil fields of West Texas. He met the love of his life there, Ms. Billie Jean Murray. They were married on June 28, 1951. Together they raised six children in San Angelo and later in Austin, Texas. Carl and Billie Jean worked very hard all of their lives to provide for their family. They emphasized upon their children to pursue higher education and hard work to better their own lives and opportunities. Carl spent the latter part of his career working on oil rigs in countries all over the world continuing to work as hard and diligently as ever.
Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Semper Fi.
Carl is predeceased by Billie Jean Barbuto and sisters, Henrietta (Charlie) Page, Dorothy (Rocky) Cochran, Lillian Duckworth, and Emma (Otto) Page.
Carl is survived by his sister Helen Bird; children, Carla Robb, Linda (Tim) Erwin, Cynthia (Tom) Jenkins, Karl (Precilla) Hauer, Dorothea (John) Lane, and Eric Hauer; numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other relatives, and a host of friends.
