Our condolences to Mrs. Ruby, Keith and Lee. I always thought of Mr. Carlton as the unofficial Mayor of the Wharton Station community. He knew everybody and always had time to speak to them. He was an outstanding member of the community and will be missed by many.

Carlton was a great man. I loved to listen to his stories. He would always welcome you when you walked into the salvage yard. Not too long ago, you could tell he loved delivering parts, he'd get calls wondering why he won't back yet, I'll be there shortly he'd say. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God bring you comfort.

Its hard for me to the think of this mortal world without Carlton in it. I cannot remember a time of not knowing him, his family, and the Salvage Yard family. Although we did not share blood relations, our families were so entwined together through the years, we were family, and will forever be. He will live in our hearts and consciences till our time here ends, and we meet again on the Golden Shore. Until then we close our eyes and we see him. We listen and we hear him. So many precious...
