Heartfelt condolences to Marian, Tyler and Tara on the loss of your beloved Husband and Father. To my cousins Una and Brian on the loss of your brother. I have happy childhood memories of Vince, Una and Brian, Aunt Georgina and Uncle Des on holiday visits to Donegal/Derry.

Judith McLucas and Family, Galway, Ireland.

To Tara and Tyler: We are so sorry for your loss. The last time we saw your dad we were catching each other up about what our families were doing and he was clearly so proud of both of you.

Marian, we have no words. But we are here for you. I hope that in time you can take some comfort remebering all the amazing things that you and Vince were able to do together, raising your beautiful family, travelling the world and giving back to you communities.

Marian, Brian and Una and families, we are in shock and disbelief!! Our sincerest condolences and prayers at this time and in times ahead. It is stated in the above tribute that, as a teacher, Vince had a positive impact on students’ lives!! As a student, Vince also leaves so many special memories for me, his grade 7 and grade 8 teacher!! His artistic abilities, his academic intelligence, his willingness to express informed opinions are attributes that stay with me to this day!! He holds a special place in our hearts. He leaves a legacy!!

Our deepest condolences to Marian, Tyler, Tara, and all of Vince’s family. He was a man who truly embraced life and always faced the day with a smile on his face.

I met Vince a few times at 80 Bradford where I work as a custodian. Vince was the Nicest guy ever. Condolences to the family and friends of Vince.

Marian, Brian, Una and kids, my deepest sympathies to you all at the devastating loss of this wonderful husband, father, brother, uncle and teacher. Vince was one of the most teuly beautiful people I have known. I hope you can take comfort in seeing his legacy in the small things in life that he had such a large impact on and the things he was passionate about.
Heaven has gained an angel.
Hugs to you all. May he rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Marian, Tyler, Tara, Brian and Una along with the rest of Vince’s family and friends. Even though we drifted apart Vince’s friendship will always hold a special place in my heart.

We remember so many events with Vince’s laugh and joking around… from times at our farm to times at Holy Spirit Parish. And in the bar at the St. Valentine’s dances!!! Vince and Marian always welcomed people into their lives. We will miss you Vince.

I had the absolute pleasure of volunteering with Vince at food rescue.

His incredible zest for life and ability to see the best in any situation made every volunteer shift an incredible treat.

The dad jokes, the impromptu karaoke and laughs will be treasured memories.

Vince (aka Bruce) it was a pleasure to have been in your presence even for a moment.

Dearest Una and Brian
I am so very sorry for your loss. He was taken way too soon.
I’ll cherish all my found memories of him and your family.
Sending much love thru this difficult time.

I’m so sorry to hear about this. Vince was always such a friendly, fun guy. When I was a new teacher he would stop by my class to chat. Always ready with some great tips, advice or a story to help me figure out my newest teacher problem. He helped me out a lot and I will always be grateful for his kindness and knowledge.
I’m praying that you can find some comfort knowing all the wonderful things that Vince has been apart of.
With love and support

Condolences to Marian,Tyler and Tara
The good leave us to quickly. My heart is deeply saddened by our loss , I can only imagine the pain you feel. Surely eternal rest with our Heavenly Father is Vinces reward. He told me once Bri you will not fall with the cross you carry .
That’s how I will always remember Vince as he will rest in peace with the lord.

Mr. Filo-Carroll was one of my favourite teachers. He had an artistic, philosophical essence that left a lasting impression on me even through my years after high school. I learned a lot from him. I will continue to remember this and him throughout my life. Truly sorry for your loss.

Vince and his siblings were classmates of all my children at St. Paul’s school in Alliston, where his Dad was principal We are shocked and saddened to hear of his premature passing. On behalf of our family condolences and blessings go to all the Carroll’s and extended families.

We are blessed to have shared experiences with Vince and Family through a Keogh-Carroll Union.

It was always evident that Vince derived great pleasure from his involvement with Family, Faith and Community and his Irish ancestry.

A man taken too soon. We are saddened by his early passing and extend our condolences to Marian, Tyler and Tara. Una, Brian and Families.

May he live on in the hearts of all those who knew him.

With Love,
Cindy & Evan

My sincere condolences to Marian, Tyler and Tara as well to Una, Brian and families. Vince was such a gift of joy to all who knew him. I will continue to lift all of you in prayer 🙏

Good conversations, travel companion, teacher colleague, friend, camper, love of the outdoors, faith, spirituality….time between visits made no difference, this is how we remember Vince!

I remember Vince as my highschool teacher and he was always so positive and cheerful. He always put a smile on my face and that is a teacher I will never forget. He taught me English and religion and would still remember me when he would come to Holy Spirit Parish. Vince you will be missed. Praying for the family during this difficult time.

My condolences to the family 🙁 he was great teacher

Condolences do not seem like they are enough for a loss this great. Marian, Tyler and Tara I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for your strength at this time.
I remember Vince as an amazing model of a Catholic man, always sharing his smile and many laughs over the years. The lives he touched through song, his compassion, his energy and his teaching are countless. Thank you Vince for the light that did not hide under a bushel. May his soul rest in peace with the angels by his side. God has a job for you up there, this is the only thing g that makes any sense to me. 🙏

I remember the first day I met the Vince. It was in the Bio building at Trent University in 1982. His laugh, intelligence and zest for life made us instant friends. Even though we did not see each other frequently over the past years, when we did, we picked up from where we left off. Although, Vince’s sudden passing is a shock, I smile when I think of him. I will cherish our times together.

Marian and family, please accept Peter’s and my deepest condolences. Although we are not nearby, please know we re here for you.

Love,

Steph and Pete

Deepest condolences to all of Vince’s family. Mr. Carroll as I knew him was one of the best teachers of my high school years, he always gave that little bit extra to ensure we all excelled in his classes. He will be missed by so many of his past students as he had a hand in guiding and educating us for many years.

Marian, I am so sorry to read about your loss.

Vince is already missed by his neighbours and friends on pineview trail. We will miss the laughs. Gone way too soon
So sorry

So very sorry to hear this news Marion and family…a very good man taken far too soon… sending hugs and heartfelt condolences

We are so deeply sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

We first met Vince 23 years ago on the day we moved in. From that moment, it was clear that we couldn’t have asked for a better neighbor. He always had a smile on his face, a positive attitude, and a joy that was truly contagious. Anytime I picked up a drill or a saw, Vince would appear within minutes, ready to lend a hand. He was the most giving person I’ve ever known.

To Marian, Tyler, and Tara – I cannot begin to comprehend the pain you are feeling, but I hope the light Vince brought into our lives can offer some comfort during this incredibly difficult time.

It’s hard to believe I won’t see him next door anymore, wandering over to catch up on life. Vince was one of a kind, and we will miss him terribly.

Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of Vince. He was truly an inspiration to all who knew him. I have so many fond memories of travelling with Vince and Marian. He was always willing and eager to help out with the many many fundraising events at Holy Spirit Parish. I will hold Marian, Tyler, and Tara in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God speed Vince🙏!

I was shocked to learn of a Vince’s passing. My prayers and deep condolences to Marian, Una and Brian and families. I have known Vince from his earliest years in Alliston. He was a student of mine in grade 9 and he worked at Zerhs with my wife, Cecilia. We watched him grow into a fine man, compassionate, caring and a great teacher. We will miss him dearly. RIP

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr Filo Carroll.
He was my high school English teacher and I’ve never forgot him as a teacher. He was a very kind person and great teacher ! Always helping his students to do their best.
He will be missed.

My deepest condolences to entire family
May our Lord and Father look after him in heaven 🙏

We met Vince, through Marian, at Trent more than 40 years ago. He had a quick smile, and easy laugh, and a sharp wit. Over the years. we enjoyed hearing about Vince and Marian’s sojourns abroad, and more recent world travels. We admire how he and Marian made their retirement a renaissance.
Our thoughts are with Marian, Tyler, and Tara at this sad time.

Una, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry to hear about Vince’s passing. He was an amazing teacher and colleague. Had such a positive impact on so many people. Sending love and strength to Marion, Tara and Tyler. May you cherish all of the wonderful memories.

Dear Una and Brian. My siblings and I are very shocked to hear of Vince’s passing and our thoughts are with you and your entire family at this very sad time. We remember you all from our days at St. Paul’s together and are so sorry to know that you have lost your older brother. Vince stood out as a friendly schoolmate. May he rest in peace.

I am saddened to hear about Vince’s passing at still a young age.
Many parishioners at Holy Spirit Parish in Barrie will remember Vince as a faithful Catholic, great husband and father, and a great, generous and talented person who shared his gifts and talents in the parish and in the community. Unfortunately I can’t attend his funeral but will keep him and his family, including his spouse, Marian, and his children, Tyler and Tara, in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace. God bless.

Dear Marian , Una , Brian , and families , condolences seem inadequate when you have suffered such a huge and sudden loss. Vince was such a caring and vibrant person . Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Words cannot express the sorrow we feel on the sudden loss of our dear Vince. To my dear cousin Marian and her 2 wonderful kids, Tyler and Tara, we cannot comprehend the magnitude of your loss. Rob and I are so very sorry we will miss the funeral service but you know our hearts are with you and the the rest of our family in the days, weeks and months to come. Vince was a great cousin-in-law to me and I still remember meeting him for the first time up at Trent Univeraity visiting Marian. He was a great husband, loving father, a true friend and teacher to all. His love of life will shine brightly forever in our hearts. A good man gone too soon. Sing with the Angels Vince, we will always love you and will never forget you! Janet and Rob

My sincere condolences to Marian and children, Brian Una and families. Our families grew up in Alliston and I knew Vince well. A really nice guy, very gifted musically and a love for life in all he did. Always enjoyed running into him at in services when I worked at the Board or out and about in the community. Taken far too soon. Many the many memories made with his family bring you all comfort at this difficult time. Rest in peace Vince!!

Dear Marian, Una, Brian and families- I am so saddened to hear of Vince’s death – he was such an amazing guy and I have so many memories of our time with you growing up at St Paul’s, playing and singing at mass and from the Ukulele group. I reconnected with him on Facebook over the past several years and was always amazed by the many activities he was a part of. It feels like yesterday when we were all last together. Probably with Larry and Theresa at an Anniversary for the church.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all,
Sincerely,
Susan

My sincere condolences to Marian, Tyler, Tara and family. Vince was a very kind and friendly man. He was my son’s teacher at JOA. I remember him very well from Holy Spirit Church choir (he was a great cantor), our Taize prayers and many events run by the Knights of Columbus, like Kids Christmas Party as well as our Valentine’s Dinners. Vince and I would always talk about music, singing and share our experiences of different performances. He was always willing to help. I will never forget Vince willing to learn our oldest (XIII century) hymn in Polish and joining the Polish men in singing it for a very special occasion at our church. I was truly impressed!
Vince, I know how much you enjoyed singing. Rest in peace and keep singing with the angels!

Mr. Filo-Carroll was an absolutely amazing person and I am beyond thankful and proud I can say I was his student. He went above and beyond for those around him and I am still so grateful for the amazing experiences I was able to have thanks to his kindness and support.

He taught me so many lessons and writing tools that I still use to this day, and I know he will be dearly missed by his wonderful and loving family.

As a childhood neighbour of the Carroll’s , Vince and his entire family were a beloved part of our lives. I am gutted to hear of his passing but I know he is in a better place and will never be forgotten. My deepest condolences to his entire family, Brian and Una and everyone whom Vince touched. Godspeed.

Kent & Family.

I had the pleasure of working with Vince when he was on exchange at our school in Tamworth Australia. We had fun team teaching and developing a range of activities for the Drama component of Year 9 English. He was engaging, intelligent, musical and a person of great insight. I was so impressed by his creative energy, sense of humour and pure goodness. I extend my condolences to his family. May the Angels sing him to his eternal rest.

Dear Marian, Tyler and Tara we are sorry for your loss.

With love,
Mehemed and Kornelija

Vince was one of my first neighbourhood playmates when I lived in Alliston. At that time, the sod fields backed onto our homes. I remember we would fly kites, skate on the sod fields in winter and attempt to catch tadpoles in the local creek in spring. A few times, I also invited Vince and one other friend, Steve Boyd, over for a cake made in my Betty Crocker Easy Bake Oven (I’m not sure how we managed to eat those, but we did) I moved out of Alliston when I was in grade 3, but we reconnected at Banting – wonderful memories of those 5 years, he was always smiling when we passed in the halls. We connected again via facebook. I enjoyed seeing his travels, he truly was enjoying a well deserved retirement. My sincere condolences to his family.
