      TRAVERSE CITY - Carl J. 'Shorty' Egeler, 69, a lifelong resident of 
Traverse City, died on Thursday, March 18, 2004, at Munson Medical Center in 
Traverse City, surrounded by his loving family. Born on April 12, 1934, in 
Traverse City, he was the son of Herman H. and Anna M. (Rokos) Egeler. On Aug. 
24, 1996, in Lakeland, Fla., he married the former Mary Seegmiller, who 
survives.
      Everyone knew Carl as 'Shorty' and his kids were 'Shorty's kids.' Shorty 
and Mary didn't like the cold, so they wintered in Florida, where he had been 
employed as a security guard.
      In Kalkaska, he was the owner of Dingman's Bar for 15 years and before 
that, worked at Fitzpatrick Electric for 17 years. He also managed J&G Bowling 
Alley.
      Shorty was a member of the Eagles, where he received his 40-year pin, the 
VFW, AML, Moose Lodge in Florida, and the Elks.
      His hobbies included coin collecting on E-Bay, collecting Nascar 
memorabilia, fishing, golfing and boating. He also enjoyed spending time with 
his dog, Tippy, when he was watching sporting events on television. 
      In his day, he loved to play baseball and dance to country western music, 
and was a golden glove boxer, basketball referee and baseball umpire.
      Always a prankster, Shorty lived his life the way he wanted to by having 
fun. He will be fondly remembered as a very caring and loving husband, father, 
and grandfather.
      Along with his devoted wife, Mary, Shorty is survived by his children, 
Patricia (Kirk Schuch) Egeler of Bellaire, Cheryl Hall of Traverse City, Danny 
(Peggi) Egeler of Washington, and Jenny Lee Stevenson, Douglas G. (Sandra) 
Egeler, and Timothy Egeler, all of Traverse City; two stepchildren, Ray L. 
Petroskey and Fay (Larry) Thomas, all of Traverse City; brother, Ronald (Nancy) 
Egeler of Traverse City; sister, Sandra Hillis of Wisconsin; 19 grandchildren; 
nine great-grandchildren; an uncle, Fred Rokos; several nieces and nephews; 
special friend, Ken Stevenson of Traverse City; and the mother of his children, 
Shirley Egeler.
      He was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Tina J. Flees; two 
infant brothers; and one infant sister.
      Friends may call at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home in Traverse City 
on Tuesday, March 23, 2004, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. A scripture service will be 
held at 3:30 p.m., conducted by Sister Katherine. Burial will be in Linwood 
Long Lake Cemetery at a later date.
      Memorial contributions may be directed to the Salvation Army.
