Obituary for Earl Carmen Dahl

Earl Carmen  Dahl
Earl was born on February 20th, 1926, in Mortlach, SK. He was the eldest child of Maggie and Arthur Dahl.

Dad was happily married to Helen for 65 years. His eyes always lit up whenever he saw mom including in these last few weeks and all through the late stages of dementia.

Earl grew up in the Codette area and later moved to Carrot River. This is where he met Helen while she worked in the bank and he in the general store and later the grocery store as a manager. They were married October 6th, 1951, and their love expanded with Dennis being born in 1956. A few years later, an opportunity arose to be part owner of a hardware store in Watrous, so in 1959 they moved. Also in 1959, their family grew to include a daughter, Joyce, being born. Later in 1964, the youngest member of the family, Beverly, was born.

Dad excelled at being a good and fair business partner with Abe Fedrau in the Home Hardware that was called Carman’s. Earl loved Watrous and was heavily involved in the community while skillfully balancing a loving home life. He was involved in the United Church Board, Oddfellows Lodge, Kinsmen, K-40s, Golf Club, Investment Club, Mandal House Board, Watrous Country and Western Jamboree, Watrous Curling Club, and Rotary Club to name a few.

Dad always made time for the family, whether it was individually or a group outing. We felt loved all the time, even as we grew older and as grandchildren came into his loving sphere.

Dad retired in 1991 and enjoyed time with friends, grandkids, traveling, and coffee row.

Dad always loved music and enjoyed many dances and parties with groups of friends that they have had a close relationship with throughout the years. Spontaneous dances in the kitchen and even in the care home continued until dad could dance no more. Music was regularly listened to and enjoyed by dad, and often would bring tears of joy in the later years.

Dad’s sense of humour was something he shared with all of us and continued until his last days. His humour brought light into the hearts of those who knew him, and this light will shine forever.

In the later years, dementia affected dad’s life but never his kindness, gentleness, and humour. We have been blessed with this spirit inside all of us.
