Obituary for Carlton Charles Sole
Sole, Carlton Charles
Surrounded by the love of his family, in his 89th year, Carl passed peacefully at Providence Care Hospital in the early hours of Friday, December 16, 2022. He will be dearly missed by his wife, Sharon Sole (nee Fucile). He leaves behind his wonderful children; Carolyn (Jim) Lewis of Burlington, Marilyn (Randy) Marshall of Barrie, Douglas (Jennifer) Sole of Port McNicholl, and his step-daughters, Stephanie Lafond (Tom Shillington) of Gananoque and Erika Lafond-Lewis of Pound Ridge, NY. Carl will be deeply missed by his grandchildren of whom he was so proud; Jason (Antonia) Marshall, Nathan (Ariana) Lewis, Tamarra Lewis (Ben Lidbetter), Jessica Sole (Jordan Gates), Jeffrey Sole (partner, Kate McGarvie), and his step-grandchildren; Benson Milligan, Graham Milligan (partner, Laura Norwood), Rachel Lewis and Matthew Lewis, as well as his great granddaughter, Zoe Marshall. He is fondly remembered by his brother, Wayman Sole of London. Predeceased by his parents Albert and Emily Sole (nee Dicer), as well as his sister-in-law Pat Sole (nee Lambley). Carl will also be fondly missed by all those touched by his kindness including nieces, nephews, many extended family members, caring friends and their families.
After graduation from U of T, Carl's long professional career as a pharmacist began as he joined his father in business at Sole The Druggist, in Sarnia, Ontario. He continued as a well-respected manager of pharmacy departments at several large local grocers and department stores until retirement. Carl was deeply involved in his Sarnia community, as a member of the Kiwanis Club, Downtown Business Association, Amateur Radio, Yacht Club, International Symphony, and many other community initiatives. In retirement, Carl and Sharon moved to Verona, Ontario and spent winters in Florida where he, once again, immersed himself in community and in his many passions and numerous hobbies. His faith was important to him and music was part of his soul. He was a member of his church choirs, playing organ on occasion, and as a percussionist in many bands and symphonies. "Life on the water" was where he found joy and solace as an avid sailor and boater. He was most proud and felt deep joy when all of these passions were shared with family and friends and he will be fondly remembered by all those who experienced these special moments with him. Most of all, he will be remembered for his warm and kind heart, sharing his love of learning, and engaging with all those around him with keen interest and a caring smile.
A celebration of life will take place at Trinity United Church, in Verona, on Thursday, December 22, 2022 at 1:00pm. For those of you who live afar, but would like to participate in Carl’s CELEBRATION OF LIFE, the service will be recorded and posted for viewing on December 22, in the evening.
