It is with sadness that we announce the death of Carl Wilson Allen, 79, of Port Elgin, NB, and formerly of Sackville, on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at the Moncton Hospital. Carl was born in Baie Verte, NB, a son of the late Ronald and Olive (Goodwin) Allen.
Carl had been an Oil Burner Service Technician with Imperial Oil. He was sworn in with the Nanaimo, BC, RCMP Auxiliary Police on May 19, 1967. He loved being in the outdoors, hunting, fishing and snowmobiling. Carl's love for horses and the sleigh-ride camp were captured in the ornamental teams of horses equipped with harnesses and sleighs that he handmade.
Carl's true passion was his music. He would always have his guitar and harmonica with him wherever he went, entertaining friends and family with his joking spirit and his love for step-dancing.
Carl will be dearly missed by his son Graham (Anne Lawrence), Amherst, NS, and Stephen, Moncton; their mother, Lydia Hemm; his grandchildren, Wesley (Sarah), and Dana; great grandchildren, Wyatt and Rosalia; brothers, Gary (Jean), Baie Verte, Austin (Dianne), Baie Verte, Bryan (Helen), Point de Bute, as well as his sisters, Marjorie Patterson, Point de Bute, and Dorothy (Chris) Kean, Cape Tormentine and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his special friend, Evalena Tower, and his extended family, Hazel Berry, Colleen Wheaton, Johnny Brownell, Jeannie Brownell, and Stanley Brownell.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brother in law Kevin Patterson; nephew, Keith Allen, and step-sons, Leslie and Bruce Brownell.
