    I am sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I knew him in Essex Deanery and he took a few services for me at Christ Church Colchester especially when I was recovering from an operation. And I too was at Trinity Blenheim from 1994-200. He was a good colleague in ministry and a friend. My prayers are with all of the family and friends. I am sorry I am not able to be at the funeral.

    I knew Rev. Carson when he was pastor at St. Peter’s Church, Windsor. I have many fond memories of he and Mary. He officiated at my daughter’s wedding and he and Mary attended the reception afterwards. He will be missed.
    Sincerely Donna Doherty-Beckett.

    I read with sorrow to the passing of the Reverend Robert Carson. THe Carson family was of great service to my family when I was a youngster and to my family during the Secon World War. My sympathy goes to sister Lenore Hayman and all the Carson Family

    Bill,Patricia and Eleanor: I had intended to attend the Masonic Service tonight but I live in Kincardine and all the roads to London are closed.I appreciated knowing Bob as a colleague in ministry from the time I was ordained in 1970 and as a Brother Shriner. Bob served Mocha as assistant Chaplain beginning in about 1995 until just after your Mom died. His contribution to the Anglican Ministry and to Mocha Shriners will be missed.
