My sincere condolences to the Carroll family. I passed the secretarial duties of Lonnie's Bowling League to Bill around 1984. Bill's, now legendery good humor and dedication served him well in this role. He was a true gentlemen to anyone that had the pleasure of his company and I am fortunate to have been associated and bowled with Bill. He will be missed by many. Mike Stafford.
