The essence of Carman was his quiet inner peace. Carman met life as it happened - the joyous times and the challenges made lighter with his sense of humour and impish twinkle of the eye. Rest easy Carman knowing your siblings hold you close in memory as in life. Always my little brother, love you forever. Verna Fast

Carman, you were my confidant through laughter and tears. Thank you for being there, dear brother

I remember Carman at UDS. Always so pleasant and always smiling. Never did I ever see him in a bad mood. The janitors room was there by the girls washroom and if he saw me walking by he would always smile and say hi or throw a joke about being out of class lol. I'm sure he left many warm memories with his family. RIP Carman 🙏💖

Rest In Peace, thinking of the family during this difficult time.

Our son rode on Carman's school bus from the very first day he started school. No complaints from our son - just smiles - when we asked how his trip to and from school was each day. He kept the children in line without any complaints from the children because Carman was polite and the children knew he cared. Takes a special person to handle a school bus full of children and still have the children love their ride to and from school every day. A special quality from a special person.

Carman was one of the first people I met when I began teaching at UDS. He was always in a good mood and would often stop by my classroom to check to see how things were going with the kids. He certainly had a soft spot for the kids and he always took time to talk with them when he helped out in the cafeteria. I remember talking with Carman about Justin as Justin was growing up and he kept me up to date on his accomplishments. He was always so proud! Philippe and I offer our sincere condolences during this time of such loss and sadness.

I loved Uncle Carman and his sense of humour. I remember when I was a child listening to Kitty Wells with him and Lester in the kitchen at the farm. I'm sure he got tired of us tagging along behind while he milked the cows and turned the hay after it was cut. RIP

Our sincere condolences to the family . He was a great man . Thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. Uniacke custodian staff Nancy Clarke, Levinia and Jim Hibberts, Steve Mitchell

I worked for many years with Carmen at UDS. He made my job so much easier with his amazing work ethic and care for our students. I always knew that the children were in very safe hands when they left UDS. If Carmen thought the parents weren't home when he arrived at the driveway he would not let the child off but bring him/her back to me at the school. This was before cell phones. He would wait till I checked the situation out and would make another trip if he had to. A true caring person. And this happened on many, many occasions. Also, I did back into his bus one afternoon. Carmen got off the bus and asked me, with a smile, "What colour would you like me to paint this bus Barbara?" Never forgot it. Bless the family today and always.

Jim and I am so sorry for your loss. I worked at UDS and knew Carman. Prayers and thoughts go out to all the family. May he rest in peace.

Everyone thinks they had the Best Bus driver .... nah we had him. Fun times were had on and off the bus. Probably gave me my first ride on a snowmobile. Sometimes I would just stop and help him pile fire wood . Small towns you lend a hand now and then. Chats at school on lunch break and even helped take out the trash just to kill time . He'll be missed by so many family and friends . R.I.P. A life well lived .
