-
Carl W. Carmean, 81, of Blanchester, passed away Oct. 23, 2020.
Carl was born Jan. 6, 1939 in Samantha, the son of the late Gail and Catherine (Gilbert) Carmean.
He worked for Cincinnati Milacron for many years before starting his own machine shop, C&C Equipment Company/JCR Machine in Blanchester. Carl met his wife of 64 years, Janet (Harless), when he was only 15 years old. Their love was the foundation of their family, and though his wife has been living with Alzheimer’s for the last few years, Carl never left her side and was there until the end to hold her hand and sing her songs.
Carl was known to those who loved him as a story teller, a fisherman, a thrift store connoisseur and a lover of “a-pickin’ and a-grinnin.” His greatest partner in crime and his “bestest” friend was Jack Long. When Jack and Norma were at the Carmeans’ home, it was filled with laughter and card games.
Carl never ceased to bring love and laughter to each and every person around him. He will be dearly missed by all those whose lives he touched.
Carl and Janet were blessed with five children, Rick (Cathy) Carmean, Carla (Ted) Schnetzer, Crystal (Kevin) Thornton, Robyn (Kirk) McMillan and Brent (Anna) Carmean. Through the years, God’s blessings continued with 14 grandchildren, Brandon, Bryan and Bradley Carmean, Keith and Justin Schnetzer, Olivia and William Thornton, Cory and Kelly Penquite, Beth-Ann and Brett McMillan and Matthew, Isaiah and Nathanael Carmean. They were also blessed with nine great-grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, Carl was preceded in death by sisters Patsy Allen, Geneva Cheney and Connie Angel.
Funeral services will be held noon Friday, Oct. 30, 2020 at Brown Funeral Home, Wilmington. Burial will follow in the New Market Cemetery, New Market, Ohio. Visitation will be held Friday from 10 a.m. until the time of service at noon.
For those who want to be a part of Carl’s memorial service but also want to stay safe at home, the family completely understands and encourages that. A Facebook Live stream will be set up that the family will share before the service so that you can watch.
