Carroll was a big part of his nieces and nephews lives also. "Uncle Carroll" was always holding the babies and playing with all the kids. He was there for every step of their lives from learning to ride a bike, playng ball and teaching them to play pool. He was always their biggest buyer for all the fund raisers, he could never say "no". From a brother's and sister's point of view we couldn't ask for a more caring and loving brother. Carroll was there for each of us at the drop of a hat. If it wasn't physically unloading something or a financial need he was always there. You couldn't ask for a better listener and he never judged anyone. Carroll always stayed close to his parents. When his father went to the nursing home Carroll made sure he went everyday to see him and took "Tun" out as much as possible. Carroll was "Granny's" guardian angle. He took care of her yard, car and any other thing she ever needed. He never had a Bar B.Q. that whe wasn't a part of. Carroll never knew a stanger. If he saw someone new in town he always made a point to go talk to them and welcome them. Carroll will be so very missed by his family and hundreds of friends.
