VITALE, C. Carl, May 20, 1924 – February 25, 2018 of Dartmouth, NS passed away peacefully with family by his side on Sunday February 25th, 2018 at Dartmouth General Hospital. Carl was born in Montreal, QC to the late Eugene and Mary Vitale. When the call came to defend this country Carl joined the Canadian Navy at 17 years of age. He sailed aboard three corvettes and the frigate HMCS Levis, doing convoy escort duty on the North Atlantic. He served with distinction defending his country with pride, honor and courage. When he returned he married the love of his life and wife of 73 years, Louise Meadows, and they started a family. They moved to Toronto in 1958. Carl was the Vice President of Finance for Purdue Pharma and in 1990 he retired, after 43 years of service to the company. Retirement brought with it the beginning of 21 years of wintering in Florida with Louise. Not only did they travel to FL, they were always up for a road trip to visit grandchildren! Whether it was to Quebec, Alberta, Illinois, Nova Scotia or New Hampshire – the road warriors would get an early start and be on their way! He loved to golf, read and was faithful to his morning crossword everyday! Carl and Louise had many friends that they cherished, old and new! Who would have thought that their move to Nova Scotia six years ago would mean new friends in a new community in this later stage of their lives. Carl felt abundantly blessed and informed everyone of this almost daily. Carl was truly admired and respected by so many – his family is overwhelmed with messages reflecting this. He seemed to have a way of making others comfortable with his sense of humor and down to earth, easy going attitude. He loved his family unconditionally and we all recognized that he was a blessed example of a man, husband, father and grandfather.
