Not sure what to say?

I think of novels unread, friends with fewer conversations, and golf championships left unwatched are just a few life events caused by a year without one Jim Carroll. In school, JMC encouraged students to think and be respectful of all opinions. He hoped to inspire and motivate more reading. I remember his stories of pride about his wife, daughter, and son.

Bopper was my head coach at McGuffey. RIP coach.

Thank you Mr. Carroll for your kindness and support through the years. You´ll be greatly missed! I´m blessed to have known you! May you rest in eternal peace!

Mr.Carroll was my all time favorite teacher! He made learning fun. My husband met him years later when they both decided to stop smoking and he talked about this nice man he met. I´ve thought of Mr. Carroll over the years and how he influenced my life. My sympathy to his family.

Mr Carroll was one of my favorite teachers growing up, and I felt lucky to have had him. This was a common sentiment from his students. Hard to appreciate how many lives he touched and the positive impact he made. His was a life not wasted. My condolences.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
