Steve, Charlie, Sue and families,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your father, husband, and grandfather. I enjoyed working with him during my time at Lovitt & Touche and have thought of him often and fondly since my departure in 2000.

I worked for L&T and then for ALD&T in insurance for 11 years. My husband, Travis, also worked in the real estate area.
We both knew Carlos to be a great guy, very fair and fun to be around. He will be sorely missed. Our sympathy to the Touche family.

I have been very fortunate to have Carlos as my close and valued friend for over 40 years. Our experiences together in hunting and fishing and business relationships will never be forgotten; especially our many trips together to Baja in his airplane. It was a high honor to have known him and I will treasure his memory forever.
My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Sue and the Touche family. God Bless You All.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Carlos was truly a special person and I will miss him. He embraced life and reflected that in his attitude -"nearly perfect".

I had just begun to work with Carlos, but it didn't take long to realize what a special person he was. The time that I did spend working with him on the computer was enjoyable as well as an adventure.

I can hardly believe this wonderful vibrant man is gone. I’ve known Carlos Touché for over 12 years – the first meeting when he interviewed me for my position at L&T. One of my favorite memories was flying with him in his plane to Show Low. He would fly me up to business appointments in order to get in some pilot hours. During the trips I had some wonderful one-on-one time with Carlos listening to his stories of Steve and Charlie when they were little. He truly loved his family. This guest book helps us all cherish our memories of Carlos. My sincere sympathy goes out to the entire Touché family.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of this gentle, honorable man. I was blessed to do business with him for many years. When I became Deputy County Manager for Navajo County in 1985, I was given responsibility for all County insurance matters. I knew nothing about insurance and was overwhelmed. Carlos invited me to Tucson and spent 5 full days of his valuable time teaching me everything I could absorb about property, liability and health coverages. He gave me both his friendship and a career. I gave him my business but more importantly, my trust. My deepest sympathies to his family, and especially Steven, who most admirably followed in Carlos' footsteps.
Con immensa tristesa,

Carlos saved my fathers life on one of the many hunting trips they had together, and he also burned down half the mountain on another. Just two of the many great memories our family has of Carlos. We'll miss him. Our sincere condolences to the entire Touche family.

To the Touche' family, my thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of you. I only had the pleasure of meeting Carlos once after I first started working here. I could tell by that brief meeting what a wonderful man he was. He always had a smile for everyone.

My sincerest condolences go out to the family. I did not get to know Carlos personally but he built an incredible organization that I have been proud to be a part of for 9 years. I know that he was loved by many. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Carlos and my dad, Larry Powers, had a lifelong friendship that began when they were young boys. Consequently, and fortunately, Carlos was my Godfather. He was present for many of my big milestones. He threw a wonderful engagement party for my husband and me in 1986 and he was in church with us when my oldest son was baptized. To the Touche family: I pray that the wonderful memories you have of Carlos comfort you. My deepest condolences are with you at this sad time. God bless all of you.

My condolences to the family of Carlos Touché on their tremendous loss. I will always remember Carlos as being a tough but fair employer. I remember him sitting me down for a "talking to" and I started tearing up - not because he was yelling, but because I had disappointed the man I had so much respect for. He pointed his finger at me and said "Don't you dare start crying" as he continued to discuss the error in judgement - one in which the needs of the insured were not my first priority. A good week later he called me in his office and wanted me to know that he didn't apologize for yelling, but he was sorry it had made me cry. He only wanted the best for both his customers and his employees and that he hoped his guideance would help make me a better professional.
The professionalism and integrity practiced here on a regular basis is why I have remained at Lovitt & Touché for the past 24 years. I have taken note that while the person at the helm has changed, and perhaps the delivery method, his sons have maintained the same professionalism and integrity.
Carlos, I will miss you.

I worked with Carlos at Lovitt & Touche' for 12 years. Carlos was a great person to work for. His door was always open. Great stories to hear him share. He was very good to me. When the grandchildren came into the office his was the first place they headed for to see him. He will be truly missed. My thoughts are with the family.

I was shocked to hear of the death of Carlos Touche. It marks the passing of an of an icon and an era when business was done with honor and a handshake. The relationship between the Touches and the Jacomes goes back to the times when honesty, integrity, respect and hard work were the criteria on which men were judged. My father and Carlos were two, that from humble beginnings, rose to the level that commanded the esteem that they so rightfully earned. And they were friends. It is truly a loss, not only to the family, but to the whole community. On behalf of the entire Jacome family, my self and my mother, I offer our deepest sympathy. We join with you in your mourning of a great Tucsonan and marvelous human being. May he rest in peace.
Affectionately, Alex F. Jacome

I want the family to know how sorry I am sorry for your loss. Carlos was always a pleasure to treat during physical therapy. When asked "How are you doing today?" it was always "almost perfect". We will miss him.

As one of the girls I never got to go on the fishing or hunting trips with Uncle Carlos and the Jacks and Dad (Larry) and Ralph and Bud and Dick and all the boys. But I have many Uncle Carlos memories too and I am grateful for him in our lives ... Was I five, Nikki a year younger, Chris a baby and Dede still in the future when "Santa" came to our house to speak with us? Big guy, red suit, funny hat, white beard, Christmas bells and shiney black boots. He knelt down and gently picked us up. He wanted to know our Christmas wishes. The list pale now in comparison to how important the visit made us feel. We were somebody! Santa came to our house to visit BEFORE Christmas. When Santa left the comment from the Powers girls was "Santa Claus smells like Uncle Carlos!" A gentle man, full of adventure and kindness, a world traveler loved by many. That was Carlos. I know this is just one of the many Uncle Carlos stories that will be told again and again. Dear Touche Family and Friends we are sorry for your loss please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Carlos was always in my life and as a child, as he was one of my fathers (Jack Martin Jr.) closests buddies. I will always remember his smile, his humor and his warmth. He introduced my mother(patricia Dixon) to my dad, on a double date and the rest was history. My sympathies to Sue and the entire Touche family. May Carlos rest in peace in heaven.

What an honor and great pleasure it was knowing Carlos for 11 years. I have so many great memories of him and our talks. I will miss him so much but most of all I will miss him yelling my name from his office very loudly when he needed me.
