To Lisa, Bre, Mr. and Mrs. Milldrum and the rest of Carl's family,

Just wanted to drop you a note to express my condolences to all of you over Carl's passing. I heard about it on Facebook and had no idea he was even sick. The news hit me really hard, since we'd fallen out of touch as many friends do when we move away, go to college, start families and careers, and having no idea he was sick, I wasn't able to say goodbye to him and let him know how much he really meant to me.

Carl and I met for the first time when he showed up at little HPA for the 3rd grade and we quickly became fast friends from then through high school. I remember many fun days playing over at the Milldrum house, trips down to Waipio with Carl and his parents, and later in our teen years hanging out with the day student gang at HPA and some very special days spent in Kawaihae sharing our first tastes of beer, talking story and watching the beautiful sunsets. Memories I'll treasure for the rest of my life.

Not staying in better touch with Carl over the years is one of the bigger regrets of my life. I guess you always think you'll have time to get back in touch with the people you love and then something like this happens and you kick yourself for not having reached out sooner. Carl was a great man with a huge heart and I will always be proud to have called him a friend. I hope he can forgive me someday for not being a better one. Carl's passing was a huge wakeup call for me to stay in better touch with the people I care about. God bless all of you for loving Carl and bringing out the best in him and making him the man he turned out to be. Love and aloha to you all, and especially to you, my friend Carl. I will never forget you.

I had the pleasure of working with him when he was an officer stationed in Waimea. I enjoyed his straight faced humor, great smile. I am so sorry about your loss . . . Hannah

Thank you all for your condolences and sharing your stories and memories of Carl. Hearing your stories brings smiles to our faces. Throughout my life with Carl he was a good husband, father and my best friend. In his last days he was still making people laugh and caught the doctors and nurses off guard more than once with his sense of humor. He had a talent of keeping you guessing, never knowing what was next. He had a very big heart and was the rock of our family. We never had to worry, he was always there taking care of things. He often said that he was luckiest man to have married me but, in truth I was the lucky one. He was the love of my life.

My deepest condolences go out to Lisa and the Milldrum Ohana. I am very blessed to call Carl my friend and to have worked for a time with Carl in the Puna Police Department.

Those of us who worked with him will never forget his extreme sense of humor. Even now I cannot help but laugh when I think of the time he put traffic cones on the top of rookie officer's police vehicles (over their blue lights) as they drove back from Pahoa to Keaau after 1st watch. Or the time he had put huge bullfrogs in certain officer's lockers and the only way we found out who was doing it was by a picture he posted of him with one of the frogs on a leash. Carl had a grin from ear to ear..... I am sure we can all remember the great Carl sense of humor.

I will miss you until we meet again in Heaven my friend. Go easy on the pranks up there!

We grew up in Waimea together and have many, many fond memories of being in the same classes, playing football, dirt biking, hanging out at the landing, or cruising up the mountains. Classic day student stuff. After graduating, we all went our separate ways. Then a bunch of alum decided to join HPD and worked around the Big Island before ending up here in Waimea with our dad. After retiring and moving on, some of you worked for Parker Ranch. Yup, home on the range, and still a big part of the Waimea community. Bre attended HPA, making it even more special for all of us. Another generation of us going to school and leaving a mark!

Lisa, you became a part of us, when you married Carl. He always put you and Bre first and was happiest when you were happy. Carl was always so proud of your and Bre's accomplishments. He helped us out plenty when our family members were kolohe. He often stopped by the house and always checked on the kids and asked how they were doing. Carl had such a big heart, and it was always his nature to make sure everyone was doing fine.

Please know, Lisa and Bre, that we keep you close in our hearts and in our prayers during this trying time. To Mr. and Mrs. Milldrum, you probably do not remember us, but we remember you both fondly... Waimea School days and HPA days. We are very sorry. To the brothers, our hearts ache for you.

Lisa, the last time we connected was very challenging for all of us. Please know that we send you Love, Light, and Peace beyond all understanding. Please call on us, anytime, as we are right down the road.

To Carl, our Buddy, we miss you, and we love you. Until we meet again, bro, A hui hou.

Aloha no,
Quintin and Teri Kimura Chong

My aloha and prayers to Carl's family. Lisa, I worked with Carl when I was a Police Officer in Puna. He was fun to be around, always cracking jokes, my kids called him uncle. God bless you and your family. He will be missed by all of us, his Police Ohana.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Milldrum ohana in dealing with their difficult loss of a good man, Carl. I’m pleased to say that I had the opportunity to work beside Carl early in our years as a patrol officer in Puna, and getting to know him as a fellow peer and a true friend. I would like to express my deepest condolences to Lisa, Breana and the Milldrum ohana.
