He loved his family, and he cherished spending time with them. He enjoyed his independence and ability to take scenic drives with his wife. People often commented about spotting Carmen driving around town with his DBATSTA license plate. Carmen could be found often sitting on his sunporch watching a football or baseball game. Throughout his life Carmen cared about those who "just could not catch a break". One example of this is the last few months of his life, he made daily trips to Pottstown, and would give money to the homeless.
