To the Carroll Family:

I had Coach Carroll for woodshop my Freshman year at FHS. He was a wonderful teacher, role model, and friend to his students. Even though I only had him for 1 semester, I'd always find some excuse to go visit and chat with him throughout the years. He will indeed be dearly missed by all. You are in my prayers and I hope that you can be comforted by all the wonderful memories you have of him.
