Julian ("Bing") Carlin

Carlin, Julian ("Bing") Peavey died on April 20, 2018 after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease at the age of 82. Bing is survived by his loving wife, Emily Carlin of Edina, MN; his son, John Carlin of Homer, AK (Melissa); daughter Kristin Carlin of Kenai, AK; step-daughter Lorna Smith (Diane Savino) of Minneapolis, MN; step- daughter Angela Smith of Minneapolis, MN; step-son Adam Smith of Bloomington, MN; step-son Jason Smith of Savage, MN (Kimberly); his grandchildren Gavin Smith, Benjamin Smith, Madeline Smith and McKenna Carlin; and sister Lucia Seidel (Jim) of Edina, MN; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Jane Carlin; his parents, Leo and Agnes Carlin; his brother, Thomas Carlin; and his sister, Patricia Carlin. Bing was born on May 29, 1935 in Minneapolis, MN. He attended Annunciation Catholic School, St. Thomas Academy, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Finance from the University of Notre Dame in 1957. He served in the United States Navy on the USS George Clymer from 1957 to 1959. Bing also served in the United States Reserves until his discharge in 1975. Bing married Jane Elizabeth Butler in 1960 and welcomed two children into their lives, Kristin in 1962 and John in 1968. After Jane's sudden passing in 1984, Bing raised his two teenagers on his own. The "Three Amigos," as they called themselves, forged a bond like no other. He always encouraged them to pursue their dreams and goals. Not many receive a second chance, but Bing married Emily Smith in 1990, and love, laughter, and adventure blossomed once again. Bing embraced being the patriarch of his extended family and was blessed to be an integral part of his step-children and grandchildren's lives and milestones. Bing was a well-known and beloved figure in the Twin Cities business community for decades. Bing began his career at Paine Webber in the 1960's. He is best known for his years as a portfolio manager with Investment Advisors Inc. (IAI) where he managed the IAI Regional Fund. Bing believed in supporting and investing in his backyard region of Midwest. He was renowned nationally in the finance world with articles in prominent financial magazines and a guest appearance on the nationally syndicated Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser. After his years at IAI, Bing's continued his passion for investing by forming Carlin Capital Management. He has left a legacy by mentoring many leaders in the Twin Cities investment community. Not only was he a mentor to the business community, but to generations of local youth through coaching football and hockey, and through his service as President of the Edina Hockey Association in Edina. Bing also passed his love of hunting and fishing to the next several generations of his family. This was fostered at the cherished family cabin "Bu-Ca-Si" in the Mille Lacs lakes region. It was not unusual to see Bing in a float plane visiting Canada fishing locations or visiting his children in Alaska. Bing was a dedicated member of The Church of Saint Patrick of Edina. Over the years, he was an active volunteer and promoted stewardship in the Parish. Bing's faith remained important to him throughout his life. He was a man of unquestionable integrity, high character, and someone who never complained. His spirit was never broken by life's challenges. Bing touched many with his charisma, wit, generosity, wisdom, bigger than life attitude, his many quotable expressions, and most of all, his warm heart.
