Linda and I send our deepest condolences.
Karlton was a good man and a good friend. He was always concerned about his fellow Vietnam Vets. We too will surely miss him. Thank God for the time we had with him. May you find comfort in lasting memories of him.

Whenever I see Karlton's smile I immediately return to our days as young kids running around the family farm. I still laugh at the way you helped this city boy adjust to life on the farm. Thank you Cousin for a lifetime of memories. So very sad that we won't be able to laugh about days gone by. Rest In Peace, my Brotha!
