Carlos grew up in Long Beach California, attending Long Beach High School and Cal Poly until 1941. After WWII, he attended UC Berkeley and earned a degree in chemical engineering.
His obituary mentions service in WWII, but the specifics are unknown.
From his obituary in the East Bay Times: "He will be buried at a later date* in the U. S. National Cemetery in Sacramento Valley in Dixon, CA"
However, as of 11/2023 this cemetery's office has no record of him. Nor does any other US military cemetery.
(*A long delay in burial necessitates cremation.)
Accordingly, it is obvious that either
1. There is an error in VA burial records (unlikely).
2. The family chose another disposition for his cremains.
