Carl SMITH

I had the extreme priviledge of working with Carl on a number of projects at Canadian Superior and Mobil. He was my rock, so skilled and confident in his professional abilities and so giving of his time and capable of making work fun. Carl made all of us better by having worked with him as he gifted us with wonderful memories and a true sense of accomplishment. Carl's legacy as a truly remarkable person and co-worker are without equal. I miss him deeply. My deepest sympathy to Velma and family.

My deepest sympathy to you all. I have only very recently been advised of this very sad news. I also worked very closely with Carl at Mobil Oil as his geological partner for many years and echo other's comments about his quiet sense of humor and calm work ethic. He was a technically gifted scientist, a man of high integrity and a wonderful mentor to the younger scientists. His inspirational leadership impacted many of us at the three companies and all of us are better people simply because we were lucky enough to have Carl touch our lives. Again my deepest condolences to you all. My thoughts are with you all at this very difficult time.

We often walked home from Glenlawn together. He was a genuinely nice guy.

Velma - I know that Carl's passing is a tremendous loss for you. Although we didn't know each other well, the strength of your relationship with Carl was clearly evident. What struck me most about Carl was his calm and friendly demeanour. He had a way about him that engendered a real sense of honesty, trust and reliability - one of those "like a rock" personalities that are in such short supply in our world. I was speaking with Dennis last week and he told me that he and Carl had been good friends since Grade 2. That, in itself, speaks volumes about the kind of person Carl was.

My condolences to you and your family.

My sympathies and prayers to all of the family. I worked with Carl for many years at Canadian Superior and Mobil Oil. May you all continue be blessed with all the great memories of Carl and his positive impact on your lives!!

I just heard about Carl and remember him from my jr yrs at Mobil. I remember Carl fondly and that stupid cancer has hurt too many of us. Although I haven't seen Carl since 1997 when I left Mobil, I still remember him for his kindness when I was green. Gille Montsion

Velma - so sorry to hear about Carl. We haven't seen you guys for a million years but always had great times at Cdn Sup & Mobil "back in the day". Stan is also battling with "stupid cancer" but we hope we have the same sense of humor that you have - helps to keep you sane.

Our sympathy to Velma, the Smith Family and Ruth&Dave. We met Carl, Velma and Clara when we visited Ruth&Dave, and we have the best memories from that.

My condolences on your loss. I only knew Carl briefly with ExxonMobil, but remember him as a fine person and a skilled geophysicist.

our deepest condolences to Velma and entire Smith family. Carl was a true gentleman and one of the most gifted professionals I had the honor to work with over the past 30+ years. He will be greatly missed by countless people. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time

Deepest sympathy to Velma and her family.

I've considered Carl a good friend for almost 50 years, going back to high school and university days, and through parallel careers in the oil industry. What can one say other than that he was just a fine person in all ways. I miss him greatly. My condolences to his extended family who will miss him far more.

My condolences To Velma and all your family.

Our love & support for Velma & her family. We loved & respected Carl as a father and our friend and our brother in law. Louise & I and family enjoyed his fun character.

Our love and support Velma & for your family. Carl was a wonderful man & Dad and we loved his company and spirit as our brother-in-law. HT & Louise

Hello. My condolences to the Smith family. I worked with Carl for 2 years around the Mobil/Exxon merger, and appreciated Carl's technical abilities and Carl's quiet sense of humor! I am very sad that Carl has passed. Again my condolences

May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends who care and share your loss. Wishing you comfort and peace of mind through this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to Velma and family. I worked with Carl at Canadian Superior and Mobil Oil. His quiet personality, wonderful sense of humour, work ethic and friendship will always be treasured. He was an inspiration and wonderful mentor. I know he was a family man and proud of his children. May all your wonderful and warm memories of Carl help through this sadness Velma and be assured your husband will be missed by the many people he touched throughout his short life.

Such a tremendous loss for the family. Our sincere condolences. He was always a kind and humble person, and a great father. Thinking of you all in this time of sadness.

Karen and I are very sorry to hear of Carl's passing. Our deep condolences to the entire family and all our Canadian friends and relatives who knew and loved Carl.
