I meet Carl when I was 13 I had just moved to Invercargill from the sticks and stared kingswell high he was in my class and we struck up a friendship straight away made my time easy from then on , he did like a good laugh . After we left school we still keep in contact , we both went to Australia in the late seventies and caught . He is just one of those great guys you always like to catch up on . Rest in peace my old class mate. That's me and Carl I am on the right

So sorry and sad to hear of Carl's passing. I will always treasure the Invercargill memories in Conyers Street with all the cousins (Petersons, Lepoamo and Schmidt's) at Uncle Johnnie and Aunty Fay's. We are sorry we couldn't make it today.
Our hearts thoughts and prayers are with you Renee, Sophia, Isaac and Isaiah, Aunty Fay, Geoffrey, Johnnie and Janis and all the Peterson family. Much love and huge hugs to you all xx

Sending our sincere condolences from across the Tasman to my niece Puti (Renee) Isaac, Sophia & Isaiah on the loss of your beloved Carl, husband, father & grandpa to Salvatore. Such a huge loss for your family & you are all in our thoughts as are Carl's family, friends and extended whanau. May he be at peace with no more pain, surrounded by your love.

So saddened by this news. You were a very dear friend I met when you were in the Army in 1976. You introduced me to my husband, and the 3 of us had so much fun together. You were the unofficial Godfather of our daughter. Unofficial because se never actually got her baptised. For 10 years we were very close until I moved to Australia. But you have always held a special place in my heart and whenever we spoke we just picked up where we left off. Thank you Carl for the awesome memories. Thank you for sharing a special time in my life. Travel safe dear friend. Rest in the arms of your tipuna. Tino Arohanui xoxoxox

At our last meeting at the "Fight For Life in Invercargill", Carl was so full of life and it was awesome to catch up with him, I was really shocked to read of his passing, and I wish I could of made it up to his funeral, my thoughts are with you all at this sad time, from an old School Friend, Richard Cairns.

From the hilarious and fun filled times when we first met our cousins Carl and Geoff in Auckland, to staying with them in Perth in 1985 and beyond, Carl was always organised, immaculate, thoughtful and bloody good fun, a passionate soldier, boxer, businessman, father, brother and son. All our love to family and loved ones, such a sad day - Eddie, Sally, Josh, Callum, Sammy and Adam Stowers

Condolences on the passing of Carl, such sad news. To my niece Puti (Renee) Isaac, Sophia, Isaiah on the loss of your beloved husband, father & granddad to Salvatore. We know how much he meant to you all, your love & care over these past few years would have been of real comfort to Carl. May he rest easy and be at peace. Sending love & comfort to you and the extended Whanau.

So sad to hear that Carl has passed away. A shock really as I still vividly remember the day we met as young men joining the Army. A big adventure, a challenge and life's journey ahead of us.
