Carl Blozan: b. 1935, d. 2026

From his obituary:

Carl Frederick Blozan (b. 1935, d. 2026) became a Christian as a result of reading the book of Revelation while stuck in a traffic jam on Route 50. Sitting in the median strip, he concluded it had to be God-inspired, that man just couldn’t make that stuff up and have it tie seamlessly and beautifully into Old Testament prophecy and symbolism. ... He discovered a love of a cappella singing, especially shape-note and convention singing. His favorite shape-note song was “Not Made with Hands”, and his favorite hymn was “Victory in Jesus.”

Carl had an enthusiasm for life and had many close friends. He loved family, softball, hiking, wildflowers, the ocean, fishing, crabbing, cooking, eating, stamp-collecting, driving a convertible, square dancing, Frisbee tossing, data collecting and math. He had a sustained and vocal dislike of traffic, meetings, and peanut butter.
