Carl Gene Muscatello, 90, passed away on Monday, Nov. 11, 2024, in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Born on March 25, 1934, Carl's life was marked by his hardworking demeanor and love for his family and faith.

Born in North Washington, Pa., he was the son of the late Salvatore (Sam) and Lisa Barone Muscatello. He was a graduate of Butler High School and attended St. Vincent College in Latrobe.

Carl was a loyal 70-year member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE), devoting his time to helping others and his local community at the Ormond Beach Elks Lodge 2193. In 2019, he was recognized as Officer of the Year for his contributions and service. He was a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus, Council 8791 and a devout member of St. Brendan Catholic Church in Ormond Beach, Fla.

Carl became the owner/operator of Muscatello’s bar in North Washington after his father Sam’s passing in 1981. Upon moving to Florida, Carl worked in the hospitality industry for many years before starting the job he truly loved, traveling across the U.S. to all affiliated NASCAR race tracks with Americrown Merchandising. Carl was a true fan of NASCAR and was grateful to find a career that immersed him in the sport.
