NIAGARA FALLS - Carl Anthony Imbert, 89, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on May 31, 2014, at his residence, while under the care of Niagara Hospice and his loving family. Born in Hazelton, PA, he was the son of the late Anthony and Mary (Koziol) Imbert.
Carl attended local schools in Hazelton and graduated from Hazel Township High School in 1942. During World War II, he served in the United States Army as a Military Police Officer with the 761st Division from June 30, 1943, until his honorable discharge on March 5, 1946. Following his discharge, Carl moved to Niagara Falls, NY in 1947, where he met and married his devoted wife of 63 years, Beverly Mary (Burns) Imbert on June 17, 1950, at the former St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus Church in Niagara Falls, NY.

Mr. Imbert was employed as a mechanic on the Lehigh Valley and Conrail Railroad for 38 years before retiring in September of 1986.

In his leisure time, Carl enjoyed bike riding, reading and completing crossword puzzles. He also enjoyed camping with his family and friends in his younger years.
