Miss seeing you folks , like in days gone by. Well Carman and Dad are able to see each other, just in a better place. I’m sorry, that I didn’t make the public visitation . It would have been nice to see you all. My thoughts and heart felt greetings , to you Evelyn and the rest of your close family members. Oh, sorry I don’t get up that way as much to honk the train horn for you. Oh no, now I’m in trouble. It was always a pleasure to work with Carman , at harvest time. We will miss his laughter.
My thoughts, prayers, and sympathy to Carman’s family. Carman came into my life when I was a kid and my sister, Annie Campbell, lived across the road from the Hodgkinson’s. It was amazing where he showed up in my life, all through the years. My husband enjoyed time spent with Carman as well.
Dear Evelyn and Yvonne
My Sympathies to you both during this sad time!
Carman will be missed!
Sincerely:
Leona Grubb

So sorry Carmans passing. We sure had a lot of laughs at the jamborees and Blyth Threshers Lorraine and Carman talking of 4-H beef stories in the good old day’s. i know how it feels Lorraine passed away in July with amassive stroke. It’s not nice.
Our thoughts are with you. The Gimbels (Dorothy, John and James)
