He was known to sing a song or two in his past and he was known for his passion to hunt and fish. The twinkle in his eye and his devilish little grin will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him. The last several years of Carl’s life he spent driving around the back roads hunting and going fishing with his close friend Tom Chappel, He got such enjoyment singing while his good buddy and friend John Davis played his favorite songs on the guitar for him. He always looked forward to having that game of poker, a cold beer and sitting at the kitchen table with his very special friend Bart (Gordon) Simpson . He will be dearly missed by his wife, Kim Reyno; sons Robert Reyno (Steven), Westville, Kent Austin (BobbieJo), Beaverbank; his beautiful granddaughters, the five apples of his eye: Alexia , Kennedy, Mackenzie, Callie and Naomi; brothers: Hughie (Anna), Caribou; Edward (Pat), Calvin (Audrey), all of Westville; brother-in-law Jerry Slaunwhite ( Cheryl ) Pictou sister-in-law Beverley Mooney, Amherst; his nieces and nephews and many other close family relatives who he loved dearly.
