Boxcar Press mourns the sudden loss of our beloved Office Manager and Client Coordinator Carrie Reagan. Her obituary appears here.
Boxcar Press initially hired Carrie as an Administrative Assistant in 2007. She earned a promotion to Office Manager in 2008 and was continuing her advancement this year into a role as a Client Coordinator, managing our custom printing jobs. Her work was exemplary and always in sync with our mission and values at Boxcar Press.
We will always remember the tireless energy that Carrie devoted to her job. She touched many of our customers and vendors through detailed phone support over the past three years. She was conversant in all aspects of our business, and patiently explained ink choices, file formats, paper sizes, press mechanics, everything. Everybody turned to Carrie for an answer, myself included. In addition, Carrie organized many of our environmental and social initiatives, from company-sponsored organic agriculture to employee-powered neighborhood cleanups.
Carrie’s upbeat, positive, constructive personality helped carry our employees through the past three years. We are all grieving her departure. In her memory, we ask that you consider her 4-year old son Eamon. This “little man” (who likewise brought joy to our life over the years visiting our office and printshop) now has suddenly lost both of his parents. Please consider a memorial contribution to the Eamon Willoughby Trust Fund, c/o Geddes Federal Savings & Loan, 2208 W. Genesee Street, Syracuse, NY 13219.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to Carrie’s survivors.
So heartbreaking. I’m sorry for your loss.
My absolute deepest sympathy goes out to everyone at Boxcar, and all of Carrie & Ed’s family. I only had met with Carrie a couple of times and spoken with her through email, and right away could tell what an amazing person she was, both in the workplace and her fun personality. It brings to light how fragile life can be. It is heartbreaking to think that this little boy has to live life with out his parents…I am so sorry.
I am so sorry to hear. What a horrible tragedy. Speaking from experience, I know that it will benefit Eamon tremendously to have people in his life who stick around and who remind him who his parents were and what they meant.
I’m so sorry for your loss. What a heartbreaking tragedy. My thoughts go out to all of you at Boxcar, and to the family, especially the son, of this lovely woman.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. There are no words for this.
Our thoughts are with your guys at this tragic time. Your team will be forever changed. We will keep little Eamon in our hearts.
I am so very, very sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
What a horrible tragedy. You are all in my thoughts. Carrie was attentive and sweet and I am sure will be deeply missed by many.
I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine. It just breaks my heart to think of a boy losing both his parents.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
I’m stunned and deeply saddened. Carrie always made me and my little business feel important and cared-for. My heart goes out to all of you for your immeasurable loss.
I am deeply sorry to hear of this. I always looked forward to calling Boxcar and speaking with Carrie on the phone. Always cheerful, helpful and spirited. She will be missed.
My deepest sympathies go out to Carrie’s family (especially her son) and to you. I didn’t have too much interaction with Carrie but can 100% understand the devestating loss brought to your team.
We loved Carrie so, here at Gwyneth Paige! What an important part she played in our business. In her memory and out of love for her precious Eamon, Gwyneth Paige will be donating a portion of the proceeds from every album we sell at NSS this year. It feels so little but we know it would have made Carrie so very happy. We love you Carrie and you will be missed beyond belief!
We too are very sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies go out to all of you and to her son. That’s truly horrible for such a young boy to lose both of his parents so suddenly. If any of you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call on us. We will do whatever we can. You are in our thoughts.
That is sad. I remember when I first started ordering plates from you guys. She was always the one I spoke to. She watched over my orders like a hawk, bringing attention to any lines or areas she thought might produce a problem during washout. Always friendly, and always happy. She will be missed. My condolences to her family and friends at Boxcar.
This is heartbreaking news, and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you and Carrie’s family.
Our deepest condolences to Carries family and friends. We were very sad to hear the news and it weighs very heavy on our hearts. Carrie was such a pleasure to talk to at Smock and also when we worked with her for Boxcar. She will be missed.
we are so very sorry for your loss. our deepest sympathies go out to her son, family, as well as everyone at boxcar. she was fabulous to work with over the past year. she will be missed.
Oh my gosh… She was the most delightful person I’d dealt with on a taxing project. Never got impatient and although we never met, showed a warmth even through email. This is stunning news and I am deeply sorry for her family and friends. They will all be in my thoughts.
Our deepest condolences and sympathy to Carrie’s family both by blood and at Boxcar. Lara and I worked with her for our first letterpress project recently, and she was so helpful and patient with our sometimes basic questions. We corresponded so much – sometimes just to pass on a nice or silly comment to each other – that I feel as though we’d become friends. She will be missed by us here at Studio Nouveau.
Carrie was an absolute pleasure to work with, I am so very sorry for her family and everyone at Boxcar. My deepest sympathies.
I am soo sorry for your loss and her son and family are in my prayers. She was such a pleasant person to talk to. My deepest sympathy to you at boxcar and Carrie’s Family.
