I was a freshman at Villanova, Stanford Hall in the Fall of 1975. Carroll was a sophomore and roomed down the hall from me. I can´t say I ever got to know him well and I am not sure he would even remember me after all these years. But I do remember him as someone who was friendly and went out of his way to make me feel welcome. I just happened upon his passing in the Villanova Magazine. Remembering Carroll brings back happy memories. RIP my friend and I am sure we will meet again.

So very sorry for this huge loss to your family. I have many fond memories of Carroll from visiting the bank on S Main St in Greensburg. Showing off his grandchildren and pups always brightened our day. Very special gentleman, indeed.

Lori, I am so sad to hear of Carroll´s passing. He was one of our best leaders at Comcast as well as a great friend that always had me laughing. I loved all our reunions and will miss his humor . Hugs and prayers to you and your family.

Sending my sympathy to Lori and to Carroll´s immediate and extended family. I have not seen Carroll in many years, but I have fond memories of working together and many chats about Villanova. A good man has died too young. May he Rest In Peace.

Sending my love and deepest sympathies to Lori and Carroll's family. I was remembering all of the times I spent with Lori and Carroll and each one was filled with lots of fun and laughter. The one time which meant the most to me was when I was battling breast cancer and they treated me to a spa day in Hershey, PA and then we had a wonderful dinner in Harrisburg. Even though I was Lori's friend, Carroll was always so welcoming and kind. Some husbands wouldn't be so interested in learning about their wife's friends, but Carroll was genuinely interested and I loved that about him. I loved talking with him. He was such a good man. He was always smiling and wanted to make sure you were having a great time. I know he will be missed by so many and my heart is with Lori and his family as they go through this difficult time.
