Our entire family loved Carroll so very much! He was a kind spirit who always was the first to lend a hand. Carroll helped me select paint for my house...the memories of him and my Father going through my home room by room with a beer in hand brings back great memories. His laugh, stories and Club 2000 days will live on as part of our Family History!
With Love,
