Carl Glen Atwood was born April 13, 1951 in Martha, Ok. to Glendon and Edna Christine (Buckner) Atwood.  He passed this life on May 15, 2019 at his residence in Ardmore.  Carl and Martha Tutten were high school sweethearts and started dating when Martha was 15 and Carl was 16, they were married October 2, 1970 in Blair, Ok. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Ardmore.  Carl started working for the Sonic 1974 and moved to Ardmore in 1979 to purchase their first location. He has operated Sonic Drive In's ever since.  Carl and Martha loved to dance. They would dance on cruise ships and dance competitions. They were members of several dance groups including Two Left Feet in Ardmore. Pretty much, whenever a band would start playing, Carl and Martha would break out in dance. Carl loved to travel with family and friends. But his family was his number one priority. He spoke often to his grandchildren about defensive driving and giving advice to his grandsons about women. He called himself the busiest lazy man alive. After working with Sonic for a while and seeing the mounting maintenance bills that went with them, he decided to go to trade school to learn to work on all his own equipment. Carl was a very inquisitive individual. He loved to know how everything worked. Carl was also a member of the Ardmore Kiwanis Club.  Carl also served his country in the Army National Guard.
