Carl G. Arlinghaus, 90, of Ft. Mitchell, KY passed away peacefully on August 25, 2022, at his home surrounded by his loving wife, Rita, and their ten children. He served in the U.S. Army and was a proud veteran of the Korean War. When Carl returned from his service in Korea, he began his career as a plumber and later as a real estate investor. He volunteered in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky with Fr. Beiting in the early 1960's and continued with Fr. Hoppenjans for 60 years. Carl began serving Saturday morning mass at Blessed Sacrament Church in the 1970's and continued to serve until July 22, 2022. He was also a Eucharistic Minister. In 1995, Carl and Rita and their family began 20 years of work with "Nobody's Children Bosnia", assisting in the needs of orphaned children and families left homeless from the war in Bosnia Herzegovina. More than anything, Carl loved spending time with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He also enjoyed traveling with his family and metal detecting on the beach in Mexico.

Early this morning before the sun came up I noticed the night sky was brighter than normal. It appeared something special was happening, the stars were brighter and the heavens seemed to be almost festive. I couldn't understand but now I know why, Jesus was greeting his brother Carl with a loving embrace and the angels were rejoicing their newest arrival. So tonight when you look to the heavens find the brightest star and know that Carl is home and smiling upon us. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, from the McKee's Tom, Michele, Conner, Shae.
