Cristen Carr Strubbe
Carl was my mother, Helen Skelly Carr’s cousin. He and I became acquainted through our mutual passion for genealogy over 10 years ago. His generosity, knowledge and kindness were all encompassing and I cannot express what an enormous impact he had in my life. I am sad that we never met face to face but through emails and phone conversations his instruction and support was ever present. My love goes out to his beautiful wife Nancy, whom He always spoke so lovingly of, and his family who held his heart so fully. He will be remembered for his passion and with so much respect. I was so excited to share with him my adventure that has me this vey week, on the ground in Wexford, Ireland visiting the farmlands of his great grandparents the Carroll and Farrell families . I will say a prayer there for him. I am honored to have known him.
