Not sure what to say?

Keith was one of my close friends at BSU. We graduated together 1972.

My sincere condolences to all John's family and to all who loved and appreciated John in their lives.

He was a great teacher and mentor to a lot of students. If I was having a bad day I would just stop by his classroom at lunch to get back on my feet to having a great day. It was always packed with students listening to his great stories. Even if it was only for five minutes.

One thing I can remember about him is he love his baseball card collection. He will be missed.

Great teacher and coach.... Great man. Kelly Logan Class of 1980

He is one of the only vivid memories I have of Boise High in the mid 90s... I remember many rides to and from the golf course... Many stearn looks when he knew I was at the weekend party... The time he convinced my Latin teacher not to give me a truincy for skipping class! The time he took the golf team to Carson City, NV to compete with the best from NV and CA... The time he told me I had to drain that ten footer to make the team (a true bluff)... The time he foiled my 4.0 semester because...

Our family is honored to have known Coach Carleton. Was always fun to visit with him. Did a wonderful job as golf coach for our son. Truly a great man. Rest In Peace. You are missed.

Soar high Mr. Carlton...

Good by old friend, we were buddies in Idaho Falls and he took me to the Senior Prom in 1968. Always knew he would turn out to be such an amazing man!

So many wonderful memories "Carlton" has left with those who crossed his path for a lifetime or minutes...he knew no enemy. Personally, we couldn't have asked for a better guy to be on the course with the kids; he was always looking out for them and ensuring their needs were met. Rest in peace, friend!
