Dearest Ken, Karen, Bruce and Families
We were very sad to hear of Uncle Carl’s passing. He was such a gift of a human being. He was never shy about sharing how much he loved and missed Aunty Barb and he was was so proud of you and his grandchildren. Behind that smile and sense of humour was a very intelligent and sensitive man with a generous heart. Please accept our condolences.

Carl Cummings had a large effect on my life. He was a manager where I worked but not my manager; regardless, he challenged me on my drinking problem which I didn’t think was that obvious. Initially his words were not well taken. Carl had a close relative whose life was shortened considerably by alcohol abuse and Carl told me the details that day and suggested where I could go for help.
Since then I have thanked Carl at least twice for challenging me. I am glad to say that I live a good life today and have not drank alcohol for almost 39 years.
Rest In Peace my friend.

I worked with Carl for many years with P.W.C Real Estate Services in Edmonton. A great guy and manager who was concerned about every employee’s welfare and family circumstances. Went over and beyond any job requirement in order to create a great atmosphere at work. Super sense of humour and used to wear a mop as a wig at office parties. — RIP CARL YOU ARE MISSED.

Dear Cummings family, please accept my late condolences for the passing of Carl. I have many wonderful memories Carl. Jim, Barbara, Mark and Laura. Our families were very close years ago and cousins became well known to each other. Carl was a special fun loving man who valued family and had the ability to make you laugh. I am so sorry for not being able to attend his service due to traveling but he is in my heart. May God bless you all.
