Jacqueline (Topsy) Carberry. They moved to Cedar Rapids in 1952 and have spent 62 wonderful years together, for which they were both truly grateful. Together they spent countless wonderful times fishing, hunting morels, playing bridge, and planning and sharing thousands of wonderful home-cooked meals. Curly also loved to hunt and looked forward each year to his time in the duck blind with his dear friends. He loved to travel and his most treasured vacations were snorkeling in the Caribbean with his family and friends.
Curly was proud to be a citizen of Cedar Rapids. He spent many hours serving his community, including acting as President of the Linn County Medical Society, and as a board member of the Cedar Rapids Symphony, United Way, Hawthorne Hills, and the Visiting Nurse’s Association. He also served on the Mayor’s Commission on Low Cost Housing, the Boy Scout Council and the Foster Care Review Board. His last act of giving back was donating his body to the Deeded Body Program at the University of Iowa Department of Anatomy.
He loved his family, friends and life in that order.

Left to love and honor his memory are his wife Topsy, son Michael Aschoff (Ann), daughter Jo Dixon (David), daughter Gretchen Aschoff, and five grandchildren: Dorian Dixon, Jacob Dixon (Kelly), Edward Aschoff, Zachary Aschoff and Katie Aschoff.
