I just heard of Carl’s passing and send my condolences. A very memorable friend of the family many many years ago along with many tales and stories of his adventures over the years complete with embellishment. His memories will be precious and I know they will carry you through the current time and will be fondly remembered for much time to come. My thoughts are with you all.
Ella, Heather and Laura.
We have just learned of Carl’s passing and are so very sorry. We know your loss is deep and we extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your extended family.
Ella, Laura and Heather – I was so saddened to read of Carl’s death. Ella, it was only a little while ago (okay, maybe a year) when I ran into you and we were chatting about all things family. I remember one time you told me about Carl coming home with flowers for you, and I thought, “He’s a keeper!” Please know I’m holding you in my heart as you grieve. Peace to you all.
I was shocked to learn of Carl’s passing. I met Carl at the weekly luncheons at All Saints Parish Hall in CBS and we always exchanged pleasantries and assessed the propects of his beloved Canadiens. He will be dearly missed. My condolences to Ella and their family. May he rest in peace.
Ella, Laura & Heather;
We are so sorry for your loss & offer our sincere condolences to you & all your family. We hope your precious memories & knowing that others care give you some comfort during this difficult time.
Condolences, Ella on the loss of Carl.
Ella, Laura, Heather and family,
We were so shocked to read about Carl’s passing! Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. The funeral service was wonderful. Carl was surely looking down and very proud of his daughters’ eulogy. I could also envision him at the reception, looking down at all the people who came to pay tribute to his accomplishments in life and very proud of his family celebrating his life at the reception. I am sure he approved your efforts.
Stay strong. Keep your memories close and find comfort in them. Reach out when you need company. We are only a phone call away. Take care.

Ella, Laura, Heather and family, my sincere condolences to you on the loss of Carl. He was certainly one of a kind, and his sense of humour and story telling will be missed.. My favourite memory of him is when he came to Regina, Saskatchewan to watch the curling Briar and of course Gushue won in the finals! Carl was having so much fun and was so proud of his homeland, when he pulled out the huge Newfoundland flag you couldn’t help but join in the festivities and help him hold it up for everyone to see. He will be missed.
Sending love from Saskatchewan, Louise, Conor and Olivia
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Ella and Carl. We are proud to have known Carl as our friend. Through the miracle of live-streaming, we were able to share in the celebration of Carl’s life here in Alberta today. Carl was fortunate to have such devoted family as they were to have him. May he rest in peace.
We wish Ella, Heather, Laura and all of Carl’s family the very best during this difficult time. He was such a unique man and always a pleasure to be around. We are blessed to have known him and to share special memories. Girls your tribute to your precious Dad was perfect. Well done. Take good care.
I will miss my brother from another mother. Carl was part of our family in Corner Brook. A unique character, persistent practical joker, and all-round great guy. He left his mark..

Dear Ella, Heather, Laura, Jackie and Families
We are sending the sincerest of condolences on Carl’s recent passing. He was a great friend and we will certainly miss him.
He and I not only share the same first name, but the same birthday (although not the same birth year). I will miss his annual e-mail birthday greetings.
Speaking of e-mails, my e-mail account is currently experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms without its normal quota of Carl’s numerous e-mails!!
He certainly had a very unique personality, and the annual “Rabbit Trip” will never be quite the same again without Carl in attendance.
Sorry that we will be unable to travel to St. John’s for the funeral., but please know that you will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
Take care, and we hope to see you in the not too distant future. God Bless.

I was quite shocked to hear of the passing of my Friend, Carl Strong. My warmest condolences to his Wife, Ella, his Daughters, Heather and Laura, and all of Carl’s Family. I first encountered Carl (and his Friend Tex) while they were rambunctious university students at the Baseball Parks in both St. John’s and Corner Brook. They later became good Friends and two of the finest gentlemen I have known. Carl was a fellow member of the St. John’s Curling Club. After curling in the Brier, Carl went on to make a tremendous contribution to the Curling Club and over the years kept me aware of major events involving the Club. Carl also was active with the Guards Athletic Association, bringing Curling to the Guards and becoming longtime Secretary, Chairman and Honourary Member of the Guards. My third major connection to Carl was through Ella’s Family, the Hanns, who were Family Friends. I remember on several occasions as a young boy visiting Corner Brook with my Parents and staying with Edith (Hann) and Warren, Jim and Jean Dawe, and visiting Vic, Marion and Linda Hann, as well as other Family members. I regret that I have not yet found out how that friendship between the two Families came about. I will miss Carl’s visits at my home to share news about our common interests. I will now be more easily able to manage my computer storage, but I will miss doing so.
My Son, Neil, joins me in extending our sincerest sympathies to Ella, Heather, Laura and all of Carl’s Family and Friends.

Ruby and I would like to offer our deepest condolences to you on the sudden passing of Carl. It was indeed a shock to us to receive the sad news of his passing.
At our local coffee shop, Carl was always front and center in the sports discussions and his attention to detail always developed into some good banter amongst good friends.
During our weekly Wednesday luncheons at All Saints Parish Hall you could always count on Carl to provide the humor to provoke the laughter among friends. He was truly larger than life and his memories will live on. Please take some comfort in that our thoughts and prayers are with you and that it has been a privilege to have known Carl.

RIP Carl

We were shocked to hear of Carl’s passing as I’d just written him that morning ! He will be missed by many including many people he didn’t know as my large group of friends waited every morning for me to forward one of Carl’s many jokes.

Ella and family. My sincere condolences on Carl’s passing. I first met Carl when I joined the provincial govt in the early eighties at Elizabeth Towers. What a great bunch of people with Carl leading the way. We had many good times there with Carl again leading the way. The stories we could tell. After retirement Carl always kept in contact through his ticket selling for other people. I always looked forward to his visit to drop off my stubs. and a chat He will be missed.
Ella, Heather and Laura,
You know I loved Carl, even though we did not see each other face to face too often in recent years. Like many of his friends, I was in touch with him daily as part of his email following. We often exchanged emails including this past week – and I know now why he did not respond. Wow. We have many great memories of a good friendship extending back 45 years and as good acquaintances even longer – 50 plus years ago we shared meals together at Fred and Judy’s home. Carl was my varsity coach for 5 years in the 70’s , and my curling teammate for 5 years in the 80’s. We travelled a lot together and he was such good company. what fun we had. He left a positive mark on many – a generous kind soul who will be so missed by friends and family. I am away so regrettably will miss the visitation and funeral. My sincere sympathies to you.

I started working with Carl in the early 1970’s with “The Clean Air, Water and Soil Authority“ and subsequent Department name changes for 23 years. Not only was Carl our Director, he was our Leader, our Mentor and true Friend. As our work careers changed I could always depend upon Carl to reach out and keep in touch, either through his cheerful emails, to brighten your day or a personal visit on his way to or from his cabin in Kona Beach. I was fortunate to receive one of these visits this Fall, which I will always cherish.
Rest in Peace, my friend,

Ella, Heather, Laura, and Jackie and all your families,
We are so saddened to learn of Carl’s sudden passing. He will be missed by many, near and far.
When I moved to Ottawa many years ago, cousin Carl stayed in touch via email and always passed along family news, humorous accounts and other stories from home. He always brought a smile to my face despite his distance – just as he did for those with whom he worked and played.
Carl’s sense of fun and genuine interest in people was clear from the time when I was young. My father and I would often drop in on uncle Howard to head out for a drive and I would often see Carl (and Jackie) during these visits. Carl’s ready smile and welcoming presence was something I’ll always remember. Later, I would encounter him from time to time at various curling activities and his enthusiasm for the sport was always on full display. He passed this love on to his daughters, and his pride in them and love for his whole family was clear to anyone who heard him speak of them.
In the hard days to come, Joan and I wish you strength and know that you will take comfort in your memories together. You have our very heartfelt deepest sympathies.
Ella, Heather, Laura and Kate, thinking of you all at this very difficult time as you mourn the passing of your beloved husband and father. May the many memories shared together be a source of comfort in the days and years to come. Keith and Sharon Dawe and family.
Ella and family,
Our sincere condolences to all of you who have lost a great husband and father.
I last saw Carl at the Brier in 2017. He was the same as when I knew him in the 70’s and 80’s:: lots of laughter and reminiscing.
We will miss his huge personality.
Bob & Sue Rowe
A great guy, a pleasure to work with. I am sorry for your loss.
Ella, Heather & Laura
Carl has been part of my life almost as long as I can remember – through school, sports, good times and bad, and just being friends..
He was a big man with a big personality and he was relentless in his efforts supporting the many causes that were important to him. He was also the glue that kept his very extensive network of friends together, doing more than anyone else to keep in touch and know what was happening in their lives. If you wanted to know where someone was or what they were doing, Carl was your best resource.
It was unfortunate that he died on his and Ella’s 52nd anniversary – but it was also a significant milestone that not many people achieve these days. Carl loved his family and supported them in whatever they were involved in.
He was one of a kind. We will miss him. But we also have wonderful memories of the part he played in our lives and we are grateful for that.
Dear Jackie: so sad to hear of Carl’s passing. Please accept my deepest condolences 💐
Ella, Heather and Laura,
My sincere condolences to you at this most sad and difficult time! I worked with Carl for many years and we also shared our love of curling! A story I’ve always told about Carl was how he would likely of had his lunch for break and that he also was eating flowers, yes they do exist! He was always pleasant and very cordial and a gentleman! So very sorry for your loss!
I knew Carl from working with him in the provincial government. The sweetest man you could meet and took his work very seriously. He was a hard worker for sure. Rest in peace Carl.
Ella, Laura, Heather

My condolences to all of Carl’s family. I remember working with him at Dept. of Environment for many years.

I can’t remember a time when Carl was not a part of our extended family in Corner Brook and although the years and space kept us apart, my mother was always giving us an update on Carl, Ella and the girls. Our thoughts and deepest condolences to you all.

Some years ago at a local coffee shop Carl asked me to sit with his coffee group .Immediately I heard a soft spoken friendly individual namely Carl..
He was steeped in all aspects of Newfoundland sports- especially in Corner Brook, The Guards and above all Curling.Many charities and schools have benefitted from Carl’s ticket selling.
Carl be missed by his Stamp Club colleagues,all of us and most especially by Ella and his family.
Michael and Annette Boyle,

So sorry to hear about Carl. I first met Carl while working with the Department of Environment and have continued to stay in touch while on his e-mail list. He enjoyed a good joke or “funny” and to share it seemed to give him even greater joy and pleasure.. I will miss receiving those e-mails.
Please accept my sincerest condolences are sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this most difficult time.
So sorry to hear of Carl’s sudden passing. May your memories of him stay close to your heart and help you get thru this sorrowful time.
RIP Carl

To the Strong family:
So sorry to hear of Carl’s passing. He was such a great person. I knew him from early days of curling and his father before him. It was only on the 22nd that I was back and forth on the email discussing the schoolboy games of 61 and 62. Liz and I send sincere condolences. Mun Batstone
My sincere sympathy to you, Ella, and your daughters. Carl will be missed
Ella, Laura and Heather … My deepest condolences on Carl’s passing. I knew him for many years as I worked with him in the Provincial government. He was my boss for a number of years. He was always a jovial fellow even into his retirement. When I moved to Mount Pearl, he wasn’t long scouting out where I lived and thus began many more years of his dropping by to sell me a ticket. We always had a chat and caught up on the news. He will be missed by many. Stay strong and let the memories of days gone by get you through the difficult days ahead.
My deepest condolences to Carl’s family. I met Carl in the 60’s in Corner Brook when he coached us in minor baseball and reacquainted with him in competitive curling at St. John’s curling club in the 80’s. he was a fantastic person and will be missed.
Rest in Peace Carl
Our deepest condolences to Ella, Heather, Laura, Kate, and Danielle on Carl’s passing.. May your memories of your family time together bring you comfort and sustain you all through this difficult period.
