When I think of Carroll the work “kind” jumps into my heart and mind. I didn’t talk to him a whole lot because I was best friends with his daughter when we were 13 so we naturally avoided everyone one wiser than us. Every time I went to his house I felt welcomed and warm. When we talked he asked me questions about me and genuinely seemed to be interested in my (ridiculous) opinions about things. Or maybe he found me entertaining. Once he took me to Disney World with the family and I did something I shouldn’t have, he just asked me about it and then let it go and never mentioned it again or showed any anger. I’ve never forgotten that. We were all lucky to have known him and blessed to have him for
as long as we did. He’s a true gem.

We are very sad to hear about Carroll. He was a good ole boy!! He built our house and teased me about the hurricanes down to the sod. We had 4 hurricanes that year. He and Teddy Anderson even laid a few of the blocks themselves! The comradery was wonderful. We love the home he built for us. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Carroll will be missed. Both of you have been our close friends
Since coming to Florida in 1981. We have shared many a meal and holiday together. Lots of laughs for us to share in our travels with Dave and Carroll. I will always remember those good times.

I have too many words to say or write about this man, I couldn’t even begin. He will always be in my heart as a wonderful husband to one of my best friends for many many years, an amazing father, grandfather, uncle-you name it, but to me he will always remain my very very dear friend.
