Carl Temple Obituary
Loudon, NH - It is with great sadness we report the passing of Carl B. Temple on April 23rd, after a brief illness. Carl was born in Concord, NH on April 27, 1957 to Mary (Collier) and Luther (Tom) Temple. Carl was predeceased by his parents and his former wife, Patricia (Trish) Neville, and leaves his brothers, Jim, and wife Rose, of Memphis, TN, Vernon and his wife, Shelley, of Bellows Falls, VT, and Kevin and his wife, Diane of Concord, NH, and a sister, Laurie Couch, of London, NH. He will be greatly missed by his nieces and nephews, including his Godson, Justin Temple, and stepdaughter Kristen Springer.
Carl graduated from Concord High School in 1975 and briefly attended Atlantic Christian College in Wilson, NC. Carl held various jobs throughout his career including the State of NH Liquor Commission, Keller Products and Sears. He was active in various local organizations such as the 2 Concord-Epsom Elks Lodge 1210, the American Legion, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. As a brother, he was known for having a caring heart for his family and friends. He was very generous and always willing to assist when called upon. Carl was privileged to have a lot of friends that he enjoyed spending time with. He always left you with a story that made you laugh or cry, but either way he left a lasting impression.
Graveside services will be held at Calvary cemetery, Concord, NH on Saturday, May 6th at 11:30 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Concord-Epsom Elks Lodge 1210, 24 Old Mill Road, Epsom, NH 03234.
The Waters Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

I am so broken hearted that Carl passed away. He was my parents God-child and we knew and loved his family just like they were our own family for years. I recall him coming to my home for weekends and everyone getting together. Those wonderful days shall always be remembered with fondness. He was the best guy in the World, so kind of heart and always there if one was in need. I am so happy I was able to see him in the last few years and we got together several times. I want Jim and Rose, Vernon and Kevin and their family to know that my heart goes out to them. Just know my prayers are there for you all and I will miss the fact that I will not see dear Carl again. I am certain he is looking down on all of us with his kind smile. I still can't believe it! Love you Carl... My prayers go out to you all.

Carl was a bonus dad, that he chose to be.
He never treated me like I was a package deal.
I wasn´t a burden in his eyes, I was a bonus.
I will love you and miss you forever and always!
