When the family moved to Kingston he attended and graduated from Kingston Technical High School where he made many life-long friends. While attending Kingston Tech, Carl developed a passion for woodworking which complimented the family business of hand carved mahogany furniture at Chen’s Furniture Industry on Constant Spring Road. While attending high school Carl spent many summers in Montego Bay with his cousins, Faith, Yvonne and Dudley Lue on Foster Avenue.

Brother Carl, my sidekick, Oh! how I was so looking forward to seeing you in person today, for the last time and telling everyone about our lives that we spent together growing up. Sadly, we got stuck on the roadway due to 3 ft. of uncleared snow that fell last night. How special you must have been to those in heaven and on earth that our tears turned into snowflakes of blessings. I wrote my speech last night I am reminded of some of our life experiences together. I am so sorry that I cannot make it today to honor you and your life’s journey. I will always miss you my friend, till we meet again on the other side. God bless you my friend and my condolences to Julie, William and the Chen family.
Aloha,
Tenny & Janice Soon Fah

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Carl’s passing. Sincerest condolences to Carl’s wife and son and his large extended family. Carl and Phillip were among the trailblazers to immigrate to Canada, and who inspired our family, the Tais, to do the same, two very large families who supported each other on arrival in our newly adopted country. May Carl find eternal rest in God’s loving light, and may his family find comfort in knowing his physical suffering has ended. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Pearl, Blossom, Joy Tai

Very sadden with the passing of my brother Carl, we will miss him deeply. Toronto received a major snow storm that dumped 25 to 50 cm of snow on the city. This clogged all the side roads and prevented us from attending the visitation & chapel mass to celebrated his life. Knowing Carl, he would just say, “don’t worry about it, you can’t stop the weather”
I have vivid and cherished memories of taking the train from Kingston to Montego Bay in the ’60s and buying pepper shrimps & baked peanuts in St Elizabeth. These simple things Carl loved and enjoyed. In Toronto, Carl and I would have lunch in the mid ’70s at the hamburger joint beside Imperial Six Theater. He would order 2 cheese burgers & a pop for less than $1.50, as we were students. As we eat the burger he would look at the cook and say “best burger”, I would also say the same and this would guarantee us a free burger next time!
Dear Julie & William our condolences go out to you both. William you did an excellent job with the tribute to your dad, he would be very proud of you.
We pray that the light of Christ will always shine on Carl.
Love always,
Phillip, Debbie, Candice & Justin and Jeffrey & Melody.
Thank you for the support and sympathy. We greatly appreciate it.
Julie and William.
Dear Julie & William,
We are all saddened by Carl’s passing. The service was beautiful and William’s words very touching. He will always live on in our hearts and memories. He was well loved and is now at peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Winston, Bev, Nadine & Jeff and Alan

Gone too soon.
Farewell brother Carl, you are now in the loving hands of our almighty God and there is no more pain, only the eternal warmth of his divine love. Rest in Peace.
Love always,
Phillip, Debbie, Candice & Justin and Jeffrey & Melody.
Thank you for the support and sympathy. We greatly appreciate it.
