My very deepest sympathy to the Carroll family upon the death of "Theo" a childhood friend. I have only learned of his death today.
He's left behind a very significant contribution to the family name and one of which his father would be especially proud. My prayers and love go out to members of his immediiate family, to sisters Sally and Helen and brother E. Tipton Carroll, jr.

To the Family of Rev. Carroll,
You have my deepest sympathy and prayers during this sad time. I shall truly miss him. He was a great man with an humbled spirit and I enjoyed talking with him when we had the chance. I shall never forget how we got a group together to go to the Holy Land and things didn't work out because of the problems that erupted In Israel a few years ago. The way he spoke about the Holy Land made you feel you were there and I still would like to go someday. It is my prayer that God will bless and give you that peace that surpasses all understanding. Remember that God promised never to leave nor forsake us, he will be with us. PLease take comfort in knowing the Rev. Carroll fought a good fight, kept the faith and finished the course and he's now recieving his crown of righteousness. You shall remain in our prayers.
In Jesus Name

Dear Family Members:
Our prayers go out for all of you in the loss of Theo. From the mellow sounds of his beautiful solo voice, to his abiities to pastor congregations and lead Holy Land tour groups, to his genuine interest in caring for his fellow beings in the world - Theo was a true Christian servant who took seriously his call to ministry. While we will miss his presence, we will long remember his contribution to life as a dedicated disciple of our Lord. May God bless you in this special time of need.
Yours in Christ,
Rev. Bill and Lynn Genda

How do you say good-bye when you know there will be no more hellos? No more hugs. No more laughs. No more dinners with conversations darting in different directions. You say "I love you!" And we need.

Theo,
Your kindness, compassion and love will be missed by many. You were an extraordinary human being. I am sad that you will not be the one to marry me someday or sing at my wedding like we talked about so many times. You will always be remembered and close to my heart. Heaven is a VERY lucky place, now that it is graced with your presence.
