So sorry June and boys to hear of Carl's death. We were good neighbors for many years, our boys growing up together. He loved Chatwood, and many people loved him. Thanks for all the bottles of maple syrup!!

My husband and I moved to Chatwood in 1985. Both of our daughters were born here and grew up seeing Mr. Crede walk his dogs. (over the years he's had several Labs, though one at a time) During what were my families "early years", everyone here knew everyone else here. Though time goes by and children grow up and move, many of them have returned to Chatwood. Mr. Crede recognized every one of them.
A cornerstone of our quaint neighborhood who will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace Mr. Crede.
