March 20, 1945 - January 16, 2021
On the evening on January 16, 2021, at the age of 75, Carl passed peacefully into the presence of his Lord and Saviour who he loved and served faithfully since an early age. He was a beloved husband, son, father, brother, grand-father, uncle and friend. Carl grew up in Griquet with a large family of five brothers and six sisters. He fished with his dad as a young boy until he moved to Goose Bay to work for Eastern Provincial Airlines. He married the love of his life, Yvonne Hedderson, on January 13, 1968 in Goose Bay and they started a family of four children in 1969. Carl and his young family moved back to Griquet in 1972, where he worked at Lewis's shop and then with TRA as a regional salesman until he retired. He was a jack of all trades and could do anything he put his mind to. He loved everything outdoors, woodworking, boat building, and being goofy. He will be forever loved and always in our hearts. He leaves to mourn his wife Yvonne; four children Carla (Shawn), Gradon (Dulcie), Lorna (Keith), and Cordella (Stephen); five grandchildren Joshua, Taylor, Andrea, Jonah and Julianna; mother Marshall (Lewis); siblings Jean (Gus), Joyce, Ruby (Phillip), Lawrence (Kathi), Joy (Allan), Alasdair (Faye), and Darrell (Ivy); long-time friend Ed Parr; and a large circle of other close relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his father Gordon, brother Gus, sisters Nancy and Patsy, and brothers-in-law Hayward and Guy. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the family.
