Carroll, I'm so glad I got to know you and enjoy time together for over 13 years since you moved to SC.  You're a wonderful man, father-in-law, dad to Steve and Ginger, husband and friend to so many!  Within 10 minutes of your passing early Friday morning, our wind chimes rang in what had been still air, letting us know that you had arrived peacefully and safely in our Father's arms.  I love you so!  Deb

I was fortunate to be Carroll and Pat,s neighbor when they lived in Christiana. Carroll was my scout master, my fishing buddy and a great ball player.  Carroll was one of the Good Goys.

Jack, stay strong.
