So sorry for your loss. Carroll was a kind and caring man. He was my Moms guardian angel when Dad died. She had Alzheimers so he made it his mission to watch over her and help her get back to her room when she was lost. He even fed her at times to make sure she ate when she forgot to eat.
There was always a smile and friendly conversation when he saw me coming in the door.
I saw him one day bouncing the ball to other members of the nursing home. This was exercise time and he led the others in catching and passing the ball. He was a leader. I will miss him, too. He was a blessing in my life. God Bless.

Carroll was a special guy. We had not talked to each other for over 60 years until he called me two weeks ago. With both minds clear, we shared many memories from the past. Good Blessed us both that day.
