Carl was a great friend, I will always remember that he was always ahead of our circle of friends. Always willing to help others and to put him last last. I also remember his favorite tv show back in the day MASH !
No matter what the group was watching when MASH came on Banks as we called him would convince us that we all wanted to watch MASH and so we did !!!

Dorrie and Family, my prayers are with you. May God continue to bless you and Charmaine. Carlton was my best friend who always called to check on me. He would stop by with the shoe magazines because he knew I love shoes! Carlton will be missed by my sister, Evelyn Mason-Eldridge of Macon, GA who worked with him (graduated same high school class), and me. Much love to you Dorrie for sharing Carlton with all of us. Peace to Carlton and Grace and Mercy to you and your family.
