Carl was the devoted husband to his wife Christina (nee Murchison); loving father to Jennifer, Tiffany and Paul; son to Lucie and the late Robert Walker; brother to Mark, Catherine, and Brian Walker. He will be greatly missed by all his aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Carl graduated from the University of Guelph (ENG '82), received a master’s degree from the University of Toronto (Biomedical ENG '84), and also from University of Toronto (Medicine 89).
Carl served in the Air Force for over 24 years, ending his career as the Chief of the Air Force Surgeon, specializing in Aerospace Medicine. He also worked as an ER Doctor. Throughout his career, Carl worked with NASA, NATO, the United States Navy, Russia and served in Afghanistan and published several papers that have changed the way they do medicine in many countries throughout the world. In 2009 he was awarded ER Doctor of the year award from Lakeridge Health Oshawa.
Carl was a dreamer, an adventurer and a doctor, but most importantly a family man, husband, father, son, a brother, and uncle who was respected by many.
