Carl Wall

Carl Anthony Wall, of Durham, passed away at the Brightshores Health System, Wiarton, on Thursday, January 11th, 2024 in his 76th year. Beloved husband of Marilyn Dickson. Dear brother of Elizabeth Krochak and her husband Ron, and Cathy Wall. Brother-in-law of Robert Dickson and his wife Judy, Ronald Dickson and his partner Ruth Ditner, Sharon and her husband Dennis Pegelo, and Kerry and her husband Lyle Pratt. Fondly remembered by his nieces Katie Ouellette, Dana Parker, Nicole Dowd and their families. Predeceased by his parents Joseph and Maureen Wall.  Carl will also be missed by his four-legged companion, Skipper.

Carl had a wide range of interests which led him to buy many books, videos and equipment before getting involved with operating ham radios, windsurfing, hang-gliding, bee-keeping, flying kites, gliders and remote controlled airplanes, and performing magic tricks. He extended his earlier musical ability playing the flute, to recently taking guitar lessons.

Upon his retirement from CTV, Carl was happy to leave Toronto and with Marilyn, adopt a quieter lifestyle in Durham. 

During the Covid pandemic he applied technical skills and knowledge,  to record weekly services at Knox United Church, Durham.
