Carl F. Labrousse

Anna, I hope somehow you get this note. I am in total shock. I have been trying to figure out for sometime how I could find you and thought perhaps Carl was on Facebook. My search led me to his obituary. I can't believe it....and Fred is gone too. I am so, so sorry. It sounds like Carl was a wonderful Christian man. If you get this, please write to me. I live in FL now, near Jamie and Heather. Rob and Sharon are in WVA and PA. I am on FB and my email address is: [email protected]. I have...

I worked for Carl several years ago and I will remember him for the kindness he showed to me and our family.
The vision for a chain of Christ-centered bookstores for New England is but one part of the legacy he leaves behind.

Anna, I am Dora and Alphonse Bourgeois's daughter. I remember when you lived in Waltham Massachusetts, I babysat Carl and Lisa. I also remember going to visit your family in Hubbardston. I loved going to your home, and I remember Fred always made us a delicious cup of tea with honey. I remember the last time I went to your home, I had taken pictures of your beautiful daughter Beth and her cat, Paul was just a little guy (Lisa and Carl were not at home at the time. My mom and dad always...

Aunt Lillian Pitt asked me to print a copy of this for her. Aunt Lillian was married to my Uncle Kenny. She has kept me updated all these years with pictures, etc. It is now my turn to update her. I wish you all comfort in this time of sorrow. He (Carl) sounds like a great man and he has got to be when he is related to Lillian.

I will never forget the day I was hired at Morning Star over on Airport Rd in Leominster! Carl was working so hard to help establish the store. We shared many high points and low points over the next 5 years. Later, I joined on at the West Springfield store. It was like I had never left. Thanks for all your kinds words, laughs, and for enriching my life by knowing you. See you in heaven my friend.

Carl and his ministry through Morning Star Christian Bookstores has undoubtedly touched many lives. He was also one of the first to support our radio ministry when WFGL became a Christian station. May the Lord comfort his family and friends during this time.

Business men start businesses but missionaries start Christian bookstores.Thank you Carl for the lives you touched for the kingdom. May God bless your family.I pray that they can be encouraged to know exactly where you are and God just wanted you home.Enjoy Heaven brother. We will see you again.

I met Carl at McDonald's over 25 years ago. I knew nothing of the sacrifice of Jesus and for him it was central to who he was and what he did. As a direct result of Carl I accepted Christ and have been walking with Him ever since. Whoever used the word 'legacy' that was a perfect word to use. To all his friends and family....I am sorry for the loss and the void that has been left. He was a great man of God.
