Carl Munro, who was extremely active in civic and governmental affairs in Moore County for nearly 17 years, died Tuesday at the age of 73.

After a 30-year career with DuPont, Munro and his wife, Helen, moved to Foxfire Village in 1992 from upstate New York.

He immediately became active in the community. He served on the Foxfire Village Council for seven years, the Board of the Foxfire Property Owners Association and many Foxfire Days Committees. He was also active with the Chamber of Commerce. He served on the schools system's Energy Committee and was a member of the Alternate Revenue Committee for the Moore County Summit.

Before going to work for DuPont, Munro served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War. He earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Delaware University. He took courses in facilitation, quality management, time management, computer science and related subjects at Columbia University and other four-year schools. He belonged to numerous local organizations and does volunteer work for them.

Friends are invited to a Celebration of Life at his home from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday. Munro will be buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in his hometown of Wellsville, N.Y.
