Carnell Jr. & Family,
I would like to offer my sympathy to you all, in dealing with such a great loss.
I had the pleasure of meeting Carnell Sr. while playing youth sports with Carnell Jr. and living down the street. Carnell Sr. called us the "Salt & Pepper" combination, as Carnell Jr. and I were pretty formidable in the backfield, during our B.A.A. football days.
Carnell Sr. and Ruth always made me feel like part of their family.

Carnell -
So sorry to hear about your father's recent passing. I remember him fondly attending our all our football games from pee-wee through college -- and no matter how we played he was always encouraging everyone to give their best.
Please pass on my condolences to your mother and please drop me a line when you when can.

My condolences to the entire Hall Family. Carnell was our building manager @ Seward Towers East Apts. Our building stopped in it's tracks upon hearing of his death. On behalf of the residents here, I need to say he was wonderful.... and by far the BEST manager we've ever had! Carnell lifted us up! We are saddened by his passing. We will MISS CARNELL here at Seward!
