Carl S. Sengstock

Carl Sylvester Sengstock, age 89, passed willingly and lovingly into the arms of the Lord with the love and support of his family by his side, on Wednesday November 20th, 2024.

Carl was a real estate investor and professional in the Fox Valley area for most of his professional life prior to retiring in 1995. Carl loved to travel with Pat in their RV, visiting all corners of the country, but was always excited to come home to Appleton to spend time with family and friends. Carl also had a passion for spending time outdoors, especially golfing and gardening.
