Carnegie Family:
To-day April 10, I learned of the passing of Herbie. We golfed many times at Summit, and most enjoyably, where I was his membership sponsor.
I first became aware of Herb playing for Quebec during my university days in Ottawa; I coached Dale for a year in North York minor hockey.
It has all been said, yet once again, he was a wonderful man, and a treat to know well.

To the Carnegie family. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. Your Dad was such a wonderful example to so many young people in the Willowdale community. We know you will miss him, but he will also be missed by so many others whose lives he touched.
My husband Don and I (Elinor Barley) are Willowdale natives and both knew your Dad. I remember you and your Mom & Dad from Willowdale United Church where I attended, taught Sunday School and was the Chief Explorer leader.
Don and I thank God for having had the opportunity to have known your Dad, Herb, a neighbour, a friend and a Christian gentleman.

To Herb's wonderful family
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this sad time. Herb was such an inspiration to people of all ages. I have such fond recent memories of how much he enjoyed listening to David's big band music at Donway Place. Over the years it was always a pleasure to see how happy your parents were together. Herb set the bar high in all of his remarkable endeavours! He's a wonderful inspiration and his legacy lives on in each of you and in the thousands of lives he touched.
May you be comforted in knowing that he made such a splendid and unforgetable contribution. Now he can rest in peace.
Love

To all of the Carnegie clan(my love to the girls especially Berneechee) - it is sadness that I fell upon Herb's article in the Star on the weekend but how eloquent to get news billing in the SPORTS section! So long ago I met this crusader, this giant among men who slayed all of my demons in negative thought with an hour & half of speaking with him in his home with Audrey close by. It was a moment I will remember as to how this man - this mortal being could affect my train of thought, my path of wandering to go forward on in this somewhat troublesome world.
I have been amazed at the many people he made a change in to better themselves all out of his refusal to let the world deny him joy after being put through the struggles he had. He leaves, I am sure, to face his maker and obvoiously be told all that pained him, all that challenged him all that he did was not all for not as he will sit with pride in the spot saved especially for this level of man.
I missour brief meetings over the years yet I always felt humbled and slefish to have time with him when every moment he could meet someone new and bestow his vision upon them (ha - that is such an oxymoron as even though he was legally blind he could see so much more than people with 20/20 vision). Every one he touched with his words c an attest to this postive light that was brought into our world to bless us with the purness of positive thought.
I do so hope that St. Peter forgives him for the speech he will get from this glorious man as I'm sure Herb will want to make sure he knows about the Future Aces philosophy befores he enters the gates! ;0)
God Bless you Herb - love the Rutherford family!

Dear Bernice, Brooke and family, my most sincere condolences.
My daughter Amber and I were privileged to meet this fascinating and distinguished Canadian in 2010 at a Future Aces Scholarship Awards and Gala. Bernice spoke of her dad at another charity event and we decided we must attend this worthy cause and what a wonderful experience that was! Little children surrounded him and they could not wait to get the chance to say how much he meant to them. One little boy got on stage and declared "I like myself !" over and over again. That positve attitude came from Herb's philosophy of connecting with youth and instilling confidence. Thanks to Bernice I was again privileged to meet Mr Carnegie at the 2011 Furures Aces Gala honouring the too-often overlooked contributions and achievements of volunteers in our community. This weekend it was with much emotion that I read the various tributes to Mr Canegie that have populated newspapers from coast to coast and even overseas, realizing the humiliation and great sacrifice this man endured but remained positive to serve his country and use his exceptional skills to build this society. Mr Carnegie truly embodies what can best be described as a "Hero" regardless of colour. We must make sure all our young Canadians know his story for generations to come. After fighting the good fight, may he rest in eternal peace.
