On behalf of the United States Submarine Veterans (USSVI), we offer our sincere condolences to Debi (Alan), Stephanie, Elizabeth (Neil), Kurtis (Cecilia), and all of LCDR Carlson's family and friends as you mourn his passing. May God whisper peace into your hearts, comfort, and heal them. We are grateful for Edgar's service to our country in the U.S. Submarine Service. His career included service aboard submarines USS Spikefish SS-404, USS Argonaut SS-475, USS Nautilus SSN-571, USS Swordfish SSN-579, and Sub Tenders USS Fulton AS-11, USS Simon Lake AS-33, and USS Canopus AS-34. To our “Brother of the Dolphin” we say … "Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch. May you rest in peace and may God bless your loved ones who remain. Thank you for your service to our country."
So, heavenly Father add his name to the roll
Of our departed shipmates still on patrol.
Let them know that we who survive
Will always keep their memories alive.
Bless those who serve beneath the deep,
Through lonely hours their vigil keep.
May peace their mission ever be!
Protect each one, we ask of Thee.
Bless those at home who wait and pray
For their return by night and day.
Edgar Carlson, LCDR, US Navy Retired, Now on Eternal Patrol.
Fair Winds and Following Seas Shipmate
His record is now posted online in the Eternal Patrol file on the USSVI website.
Rev. Ray Fritz, National Chaplain United States Submarine Veterans, USSVI.

We were so sadden to learn of the loss of Ed. He was a wonderful neighbor. When our Bitty cat cam up missing, we finally learned that she had moved down to live with Ed. He had no idea where she had come from. We did not mind sharing her with him for awhile.
Ed always had a smile for everyone and he would always stop for a quick chat. He will be missed by so many.

Ed had a laugh that was contagious to all around him. He was a wonderful person and friend for the short time I knew him. Ed will be dearly missed and I feel blessed to have met him. Respectfully, Beki Baxter-LCCAB

It's difficult to know what to say just now...except that you're thought of in sympathy and friendship. Your Dad will be missed...just keep remembering all the good times!

Ed made such a difference in our lives. He was a wonderful friend and neighbor. He was an encouraging friend to our children as they were growing up. He always thought they were great and let them know it. He treated everyone with kindness and understanding. The world will not be the same without him in it. Our love goes out to the Carlson family at this time.

We wish to express our deepest sympathy to the Carlson family for the loss of their father, grandfather and friend. Sister Baumgartner and I have known Ed since we moved here in 1994 and always enjoyed our visits with the Carlson's when Sister Carlson was alive. We were able to continue those visits with Ed from time to time and always enjoyed those opportunities. He was a good man and will be missed by those of us who had the privilege of knowing him. Respectfully, Ken & Kay Baumgartner
