Jerry, we'll miss you. The fellowship's on the golf course, the cookies and coffee prepared by Donna at the 5th. hole, seeing you stroll on your morning walks.
Rest in peace and enjoy the lush fairways in heaven.
May God give strength to your family and bless your soul in eternity.

As a childhood friend of Leslie, and neighbor in Shoreline, I remember your dad always having a warm smile. I too, lost my dad 2 weeks ago. I understand it's not easy to lose a parent. May memories of your dad remain in your hearts and live on through your families.

My father loved life. He reminded himself and all of those around him of how precious and wonderful life is. When he woke up in the morning he would say- "What a beautiful day", and started out each day with such optimism.

There was a continual love of learning which he shared with all his family. He most particularly enjoyed the field of science and loved stimulating conversation on the subject.

Daddy was a golfer and very proud of every trophy he won. Being a member of the mens golf club brought him great joy.

Daddy you are always with me, in my heart. You have made me the person I am today. For that I am thankful. I miss you so much. I am so thankful for the wonderful relationship we had together.

You are with me always,

Laurie (oldest daughter of Jerry Carroll)

I remember Jerry during his years of working for the City of Everett.

He was a "common sense" Engineer and was always a pleasure to be around.

My condolences to his family.
