Carmack Family,
I am deeply saddened to know that Mr. Carmack is no longer with us and I am very sorry for your tremendous loss! For several years he, along with my father Harry, made up the transportation support system for Ray and I, to ensure that we were able to travel long distances to our hockey games and practices, during our time with the South Hills Catholic Hockey Team. As a "youngster", I enjoyed many conversations with him and continued to have many more with him over the past 40 years. I'll ALWAYS remember Mr. Carmack as a kind gentlemen and a hard worker, as I would usually see him tending to some type of chore whenever I would visit your family on Cape May Ave. I will pray for all of you during your time of grief and please know that a new star is burning brightly in the sky, now that he has gone onto his Eternal Reward, to be with God and enjoy his perpetual stroll through Heaven. May God bless him, along with your entire family!
With love, Ronald Orchowski
