Carl Federspiel

Carl J. Federspiel was a handy man who, along with his brother George and sister Margaret, ran the family business Federspiel Hardware in downtown Port Washington for decades.

In addition to selling the tools needed by residents and businesses in the community, Mr. Federspiel also did a significant amount of work on furnaces in the area.

“I remember once he got called out to Weiler’s (now Memories) at night and he came home like an iceberg,” his wife Loretta said. “He did a lot of repair work.”
