I just found out today Mr. Carman passed. He was everything the definition of a gentleman, ethical, and honorable is. My husband and I trusted him without question as we always knew he had our best interest at heart. Heaven is gaining a beautiful soul. My deepest sympathies for your loss. Warmest regards, Donna DeFede

After many decades as the Redmond family attorney, Mr. Carman had become more than our lawyer, he was a family friend. I'll always remember him as a compassionate and caring man with a twinkle in his eye and a great joy in life. He loved Farmingdale and the community life found within this village and will be missed by all who knew him.

Our hearts are heavy. Great memories. - Scott
I took this picture walking past the two of you, not a posed picture, but a real picture of the two of you. I have many fond memories of conversations with "Mr. Carman" at Silver Bay. He was a kind and gentle man and I'm glad I have those memories of him. May you find strength in all your fond memories . Love, Cindy

Dear Hilda, Laura, Chris and Bill: Nancy and I know you all know how much Pop Pop meant to us, Liz and Mike. No better role model of a Husband, Father and Grandfather comes to mind. I know he will rest peacefully in heaven waiting for us all, banjo in hand, to reconvene the Carman band. God bless you all and give you comfort.
