Carl was such a kind spirit. 

I will remember his innocence and kindness in all that he did. The mark he left on many in the Cornwall area over his life was outstanding and incredible.

Though many people saw him as a passing joke or something to smirk at, Carl knew that and didn’t care. He once told me “if they laugh at me, at least they’re laughing” with his token smile.

I hope you are finally at peace Carl. thank you for just being there to listen when no one else was. Thank you for the lessons you taught me that I will cherish forever, and thank you, most of all, for the laughter.

Love always your friend,
Samantha

Used to see Carl all over Cornwall and down in Summerstown at Tjs on his way down east.  He would stop in for a coffee and we would by him a beer and listen to his stories.  Rip 

I remember Carl,
He used to bike around town and play his guitar. I remember him strumming a few chords for a cigarette. He always cracked me up. He used to do odd jobs at the gas station  for hot dogs and coffee. He was an interesting character.

Take it easy buddy. 

Great Uncle Carl was always an interesting character to have around. I remember being at my grandmas, Audrey, and he would visit her for soup and crackers. He was huge on manners and enjoyed his music and laughing. Of all the things I’ll miss, it’s the time I didn’t get to spend trying to understand him more. Fly with the angels Uncle Carl, tell Great Grandma Ruby, Grandpa Henry and Aunt Caroline we miss them and are glad you all can be together.

Met Carl many years ago when I worked  with his sisters. He will be missed. My sympathies 

Carl was a fixture in my old neighbourhood, he used to spend some nights helping out the storekeeper at the quikie on Marlborough. One night I was buying a pack of smokes on my way to the bar and gave Carl half of it( I was trying to quit) Later on, on my way back home, Carl, seeing I had too much too drink, walked me too my door and gave ME a smoke. I still laugh about it.  I'll miss seeing him around.

Carl was a regular customer where  I worked. He visited daily. I remember him fondly. He was funny and kind. My sympathies to family and his many friends.

I used to work at the home he lived at years ago. He will be missed for sure!

CARL WAS CORNWALL'S  ADOPTED SON ...I OFTEN THOUGHT OF POSTING ON FB THAT EVERYONE SHOULD STOP AND GIVE FOOD, CLOTHES OR MONEY ! RIP CARL

Carl used to come to see us at the cake shop on Eleventh. He used to live upstairs. Going to miss his laughter. 

Sold him a bike once.  He would come and give me a bit of money every month.  Such a kind and honest man with a great laugh.  Rest in Peace Carl.

Carl came into my shop many years ago to tell me that he had a suit at home that was destined to be delivered to a neighbouring clothing store, that was closed upon attempted delivery. Carl happened to be in the vicinity & offered to take the suit on behalf of the shop & the courier agreed (much to our surprise I might add)...thankfully Carl was honest & wanted me to know that he had it safely at home & brought it in so I could deliver it to the appropriate receiver the following day.
We will miss his presence as he was such an iconic fixture in our community. Rest in peace Carl & condolences to his family.



It was just last summer i seen Carl but not just for the first time on the corner of Montreal road and Marlborough street.
He was sitting at his usual place on the bench play music with pop cans.
I stop and asked him to stay their for  15 minutes and i would be right back he said ok.
I went home I told my wife to make a lunch for Carl.
I went back and i gave him his lunch and a few smokes and some money to buy him self a Tims
The big thank you and smile and hand shake he gave me made my day and i am sure his.
He was liked by many and will be sadly missed by many he was a small Cornwall icon.
A great man.

Such a sad time, I had the pleasure of knowing this man.  The most harmless, caring soul... Fly high buddy

I will miss seeing you around town and miss the old days when you would come for lunch.  I don't know where you got the energy to travel so much on your bike no matter the weather! R.I.P. Carl!

Carl, you were so well known and cared for by the community. More than you know. I ask that the angels guide you home so you may enjoy the happiness and peace you deserve. Blessings!

I would go for walks early in the morning and I would see Carl at Tim Hortons. We would chat for a bit. I’m going to miss those chats. I’m going to miss you.

I first started seeing Carl when I worked at Tim hortons. And then I got a new job and he would always come by too. It was nice seeing him biking around town and stopping in to relax. The community really loved Carl.  I’m really saddened by his loss. I will never forget serving him ice cream, he always liked vanilla bean :) He loved spending time outside and playing his his guitar. He was a good man. 

I remember the times you road your bike to Lancaster and I’d chat with you in front of the house you asked for smokes and I gave them to you and I mentioned knowing your mom ruby, I just offered you a ride on Monday when you were calling a cab from Walmart but you weren’t heading east you were going to monkland, fly high you have left a lasting impression on the community it didn’t matter what a persons occupation was we all knew Carl he was harmless with his bmx and guitar you will be missed

RIP Carl...such a nice friendly, kind man..always had a smile for everyone. ..we could all carry on for him and do the same..be kind.

You will be missed, Rest In Peace dear Carl.

Tuned his guitar for him once! Ready to play that great gig in the sky!! 

Carl always made me smile.  I used to work at farm boy and loved seeing Carl! Always such a great guy, smiling and kind!!!! I loved running into him anywhere and everywhere . 

I’m so sorry for your loss. Your family, and Cornwall, has lost a great man! 

Most times I'd hear Carl's music in Tim's. Id see him biking around town. He was such a huge part of Cornwall. He will be sadly missed.
