Uncle Carlton my family will miss you. I remember all your stories you told when I was growing up and I enjoyed hearing them. I know you missed Aunt Inza enormously as I do each day. You now can be reunited with her once again. You both were so well-liked by all and will be truly missed. You both loved going to the coast for lobster and traveling.
You both truly were an inspiration for a long marriage and your love and adoration for each other.

After Inza died, my mother, Sandra, would often bring Uncle Carlton to thanksgiving dinner. I'll miss hearing his stories about my great-grand parents and my grandmother. While telling the stories he'd devour half the turkey, after which he would fall asleep on the couch and wake up just as desert was being served. It was a treat when he and my grand-mother, Gladys, would start talking about when they were kids.

Uncle Carlton will be missed. I remember so many fun times with Auntie Inza and Carlton while growing up. His adoration and love for Auntie Inza was extraordinary. I am pleased imagining his reunion with Auntie Inza and my mom and dad.
Uncle Carlton had an enormous gift of carpentry. That talent is a small part of his legacy to the community and more importantly is a treasured gift to all the family he leaves behind who have those gifts of his God given talent.
