Nance Family,
I am so sorry for your loss, Carol was a great person. I briefly worked with him at Raytheon while in a rotational program and when I needed a place to stay, he let me rent a house! Dwight and Carol always made me laugh! I'll always be grateful for his assistance in giving me some time to get some things sorted out. Carol will be greatly missed! Please know I will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Being from the Sisk family I spent alot of time at the speed shop & the machine shop.All of us worked there at one time or another.I loved that place and the people.Carol always had time to chat with me.I lived a few doors down from him for awhile.He never complained when I started our dragster he just came down to listen to it.I have some memorabilia from the machine shop that has been in our family.It sits in my living room.
Marvell,Allen I feel your pain we love you all.Sisk family,Rod and Dean.

Bryon and family, Your phone call was a real big shock to me,your Dad was a very talented man. I learned a lot from him back when I was working at Nance Speed Equipment and that was so special to me to say I learned from the best. Carol you will be missed deeply. Tell Lavern, Roy, Walt, Frankie, Dale and the rest of the gang hi for me. My prayers are with you.

Debbie, Ojar and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of Carol. We were neighbors for 17 years and I could not have asked for better neighbors or friends anywhere. We shared a lot of good times together. Our sons Ojar, Mark and Mike grew up together and you were there for me during the illness and loss of my first husband. There was a well worn path between our houses.
Again, please know our love and prayers are with you.

Carol and I spent many times talking racecars while I worked at Raytheon - he always loved to view my pictures of racers I would take while on vacation. What a neat guy, and it's sad he's gone.
Keep your foot on the loud pedal, Carol - wherever you may be,

To the Nance family;
Carol was your Son, Brother, Husband, Dad, step-Dad, Brother-in-law. You will hold him in your heart and memory forever. Remember the times you had with him, even some of the honory things he did or you did together and laugh and cry for that is what you are supposed to do in this time. This is the time to mourn and it is O.K. Tears are a language God understands and He sees your pain and He will help you through this tough time.
Be there for each other and allow that to ease your pain.
