Carl was a teacher of music and a professional trumpet player with Bob Kuban Brass Band for many years. When he was in his 30's, he attended Logan University and was a chiropractor for the past 30 years. He was involved in many civic and community organizations, but he was foremost a teacher and healer. With his passion for education and a dedication to the healing arts, he touched innumerable lives and left a legacy of love in his wake.  Carl also had nicknames from his family such as "King Carl" "Chuck" "Cardoo" "Cardolic Polish for Carl" and "Curly Carl." Carl was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. "What a long strange trip it's been.”

The Makarewicz family asks that everyone wear red and white in celebration of Carl's Polish heritage.
