Bonnie, Paul enjoyed Carl when you lived in the Roy 5th Ward. They were great friends. Paul talked to Carl a few weeks before he died. Carl was so thoughtful to call Paul and ask how he was. We loved you both. Our deepest sympathy goes to you and your family. Love, Paul and Pat George

Dear Bonnie:

What might otherwise be a trite and insincere thing to say, I can say with certainty about Carl--my life is better for having known him. I benefited greatly from lessons he taught and the example he set. His positive outlook and sincere care for others was always uplifting.

My strongest memory or feeling of Carl as a neighbor (25 years) is...Carl gave my kids nicknames just like they were family. We all felt welcome in their home. So much so we just walked in the back door for Diet Coke and a visit. One Sunday morning , Carl called us to find out if we knew where Jeff was. Come to find out he was in their playroom having a grand time with the toys. Jeff was about 4 years old. He woke up and headed for the Creer's. That's proof he felt safe and welcome. Great neighbors and friends!!

Carl and I grew up together in the same neighborhood in Ogden, attended grade school, junior high and high school together. We were good friends during our youth and later in life once our families found their way back to the area. Carl was a classy guy who was an entrepreneur at heart. He loved making deals just for the sake of the deal. He was also helpful with our periodic reunions, a so so golfer like the rest of us, and always warm and friendly. Great family! Great extended family!

Bonnie, we were sorry to read of Carl's death. We are in far off Lebanon right now serving the Church, so we will not be close to give you a hug. We do, however, send our love and prayers to you and your children and we pray Heaven's blessings to be with all of you in the days and months to come.

It seems to us only a few years ago that we were all newly weds attending Weber State and planning for our lives. "Our lives passed away as in a dream." We love you and will be thinking of you.

Always, Dean and Kathy Hughes

Dear Creer Family ,
We are so grateful for Carl Creer's life! I will remember him as always being so friendly and loving to all the teenagers in the ward. He was our best Sunday school teacher and made the gospel relevant in our lives. He made us feel important, smart and special. His children are a beautiful reflection of wonderful parents. We love your family and wish you peace and love.
Love

Carl was a fantastic neighbor and wonderful friend. During out association he taught many lessons but his example of generosity was most meaningful.
I will always miss his eternal optimism and infectious personality.
