Dr. Faller was one of the closest friends of my father, Glen Allen. He was also a key member of the Bill McGlathery golf course west of Kentwood, where he and Dad could normally be found on Sunday afternoons. RIP Dr. Faller. You can now play a round of golf in Heaven with Glen Allen, Bill McGlathery, Dr. Francis LeTard, and Lee Bangs Wheeler.

Dr. Faller was a remarkable professional, an upstanding city councilman, and most of all a cherished friend. His kindness, generosity, and dedication to our community touched the lives of so many and have left an enduring legacy of compassion and service.

While we mourn the loss of such an extraordinary individual, we must remember that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. He is in a...

Leo Rosten once wrote that... "The purpose of life is to matter, to count, to stand for something, to make some difference that you've lived at all." Those were words by which Dr. Faller lived as a doctor, citizen, and friend. He will be missed by all of us who had the good fortune to have known him.

Carlton Faller was our family physician and friend for over 60 years. My parents, Joan & Ottis Simmons, loved and respected him. He was an easy person to like. After Ottis died, Dr. Faller was instrumental in helping us children to move our mother to a safe new home in Hammond. His presence, his professional practice, his citizenship, and his faith made Kentwood a better place for everyone. I still think of him fondly and with deep appreciation. Blessings to his family.

I am grieved at this lose! He was my doctor from the time I was 6 years old until he retired. He had a nickname for me, Belle of Osyka. I loved him very much. He was not only my doctor but my friend! I visited him at his home last year and I am so grateful for that last visit. My prayers will be with all of you all!

What a privilege to have worked with Dr Faller,prayers for his family,,may he RIP
