He was born January 20, 1946 to Carl and Isabelle (Keeler) Goettel in Williamsport.  He graduated from Williamsport High School in 1964, then Penn State University in 1968, and served in the United States Army.  While serving in the Army Carl used the opportunity to travel extensively in Asia.  On May 15, 1999 he married Mary Ann Monell, whom he met at a Social Organization for Singles dance.
