Carl Allen Shore, 81, entered the gates of Heaven on Sept. 20, 2022.
Carl was born Dec. 12, 1940, to James Harry Shore and Eva Irene Eskew in Champaign, Illinois. He grew up in Urbana, Illinois. He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1958 and was discharged on Aug. 3, 1962. After discharge, he married Irene Ann Nielsen at Calvary Lutheran Church in Lincoln. They made their home in Urbana until 1968 when they moved to Lincoln. This year they celebrated 60 years of marriage.
Carl loved his family; he was so proud of all his children and grandchildren and spent time with them whenever possible. He loved telling stories about his adventures of being a truck driver, family and antics with friends. He was proud to be a truck driver and a veteran. He will be sorely missed by many.
He is mourned by his wife of 60 years, Irene; his three children, Carmen Anderson (Michael), Kyle Shore (Barbara) and Byron Shore (Lisa); aunt, Mary MacCartney; nine grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. To greet him in Heaven are his parents; infant daughter, Kimberly Ann; grandson, James Coy Shore; and great-grandson, Walker Wade Jarchow.
