Thank you for your husband, father, grandfather. In working with him years ago in the IA DPS, he was a fine co-worker and one of
"my" inspectors. Carroll dearly loved and was proud of his family. Memories will always remain.

Donna and family, So sorry to hear of Carroll's passing. I remember when he came to the Griswold School one time for an inspection. I gave him all kinds of crap - and he dealt it right back. What a Great man he was. May your fond memories help you and your family in the days ahead and may you feel God's comforting arms around you in your sorrow.

I remember Carroll as a larger than life man. Loved being a 'sleep over guest' with Vicky and eating ice-cream at night!! And what a great neighbour. We are so often blessed with wonderful people in our lives, and don't realize what an impact they've made until later on. To all of the Shisslers; I am so sorry for your loss. I am grieving with you. Carroll, you will be missed.
