Carroll Reynolds Obituary
AGE: 86 • Christiana
Carroll E. Reynolds, Sr., 86, of Christiana, passed away peacefully after a short illness, at Christiana Hospital, on Wednesday June 15th, 2016.
Born in Northeast, MD, Carroll was the son of the late Helen and Melvin Reynolds. While working for Chrysler, he met and married his wife of 65 years, Beatrice (Crossan). Shortly afterwards, he was drafted to serve his country for 2 years in the US Army.
After being honorably discharged, Carroll went in to retail, but found his calling in the hardware business where he enjoyed helping do-it-yourselfers with their home repairs, yard supplies and other such needs. During this time he purchased and operated Haverback Hardware, and later opened Reynolds Window and Screen Repairs, which he operated right up to his passing.
Carroll and Bea enjoyed traveling the country in their camper, he enjoyed singing in the church choir, but he especially enjoyed eating out.
Carroll was predeceased by his older brother Edward, and his older sisters Helen E and Grace. He is survived by his youngest sister Sherry (John), as well as several nieces and nephews. In addition to his wife Bea, he is survived by his children Linda (Steve), Melvin (Joanne), David (Michelle), Carroll, Jr. (Pat), and Marie (Dan). Adding to the joy in his life are his 7 grandchildren Jon (Lisa), Ashley (Seth), Jeffrey, Allison, Heather, Michelle (Christopher) and Julie (James), and 6 great-grandchildren Wesley, Nora, Declan, Colleen, Brian and Robert.
He will be dearly missed by his many family and friends.
Friends and Family are invited to attend a visitation on Monday evening, June 20th from 7-9pm, at New Castle United Methodist Church, 510 Delaware Street, New Castle, Delaware. On Tuesday June 21st services will be held at 12 noon with visitation from 11-12pm at the church. Interment will follow at St. Georges Cemetery.
Carroll enjoyed time spent with his church family, so in lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made to New Castle United Methodist Church.

I only knew of Mr. Reynolds through his screen business, but I always found him to be so kind, so quick and good with his work, and so reasonably priced that I don't know how he made any money. It was clear he enjoyed his work and helping others. My condolences to his family; he will be missed.

Aunt Bea, when I think of Uncle Carroll I think FUN!
He was always so much fun to be around and could always make me laugh. Also, I will never forget him walking me down the aisle on my
wedding day.
He was my HERO.
Love you,
Vickie

He was a very special man. I had the pleasure of seeing him in our office every week. He even fixed screens for my daughter. I will miss our weekly conversations. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

He was a very nice man, I loved singing with him and Bea in the combined church choirs. He was always a big help to me when he worked in the Hardware Store at Park and Shop if I couldn't find something he was very willing to find it for me. I really miss that store and him. Your whole family is in my prayers. God be with you all.
