Carl R/ Hanselman.

Carl R. Hanselman, 90, passed from this life peacefully on Tuesday, March 8, at his residence. Carl, known to many as "Delly", was born and lived his entire life in Quakertown. He graduated from Quakertown High School and in 1942 joined the United States Army and served in World War II. In 1951, he married the former Eunice Strauss of Leithsville. He started his career in the factory of R.M. Taylor Furs of Quakertown, constructing coats. He was later promoted to their showroom, where he became a top salesman. At that time, R.M. Taylor was known far and wide and one of his proudest memories was having Yankee great Joe DiMaggio as a customer who always asked specifically for him. Carl will be remembered as an outdoorsman who loved to go fishing, and as someone who always had a smile and a funny story to tell. He loved the game of baseball, playing and watching, and will be remembered for his dedicated life-long love of the Phillies. Carl was a member of the Quakertown American Legion Post 242 and the VFW. In July he celebrated his 90th birthday with a big outdoor party at his home. Survivors: Carl will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Gayle (Hammond) and her husband Roger, his grandson Brandon and granddaughter Kristen. He was predeceased by his wife Eunice, parents John and Muriel, brother John and sister Catherine. He is also survived by nieces and nephews, as well as his many wonderful friends who meant so much to him, and who brought fun and happiness into his life every day. Services: Will be held at the C.
