I will always remember when Carroll gave us his Captain's bedroom furniture. He was moving out of his apartment in Lafayette and didn't really need it any more. I drove up to Lafayette 2 weekends in a row, to pick up the two dressers and headboard. He told me "just leave me something to put my clothes in." i had taken all his bedroom furniture before he moved completely out. He probably put his clothes in a cardboard box, so I could take the dressers. That's how he was: generous and funny. We will miss him.

Uncle Carroll will always hold a very special place in my heart. Throughout my childhood, I always loved to see him. He absolutely lit up the room when he walked in with his big grin and that great laugh! He always had a way of making me feel special and loved. He was and always will be one of my most favorite people. I think that God needed a little more laughter in Heaven and Daddy and Uncle Charles needed another fishing buddy. I will never forget you Uncle Carroll. You will truly be missed.

Memories of Uncle Carroll, An 8 year old little girl who's new permanent teeth were too big for her face and being told they were beautiful teeth and so was I. Singing along to Eric Burton and the Animals. I thought he was the coolest ever. The time he drove to visit me as a newlywed with a beagle puppy in his lap and a pile of empty KFC boxes in the back seat.Cecil and I still laugh about that.He made an impression on my life and I will always love him.

What a very special man Uncle Carroll was...His smile was radiant and magnetic. Whenever the family was in Uncle Carroll's presence, we always knew we were loved. We always waited impatiently for Uncle Carroll, daddy, Uncle Larry and the rest of the brothers and Charlie to come home from Deer Park wih another "Great Fishing Story", to hear about the big one that got away, how many fish they caught or who fell out of the boat this time. Uncle Carroll you will be greatly missed. Kathy Ann, Charlie and Aunt Louise

Oh what a special man my Uncle Carroll was.. I have so many memories of him through the years. Loved the ones of him, my father Larry, their brothers Mike, Johnny & Charles and their many fishing adventures and especially the stories that came from Deer Park!! He was always such a character and loved to laugh!! After his strokes, and before my father passed away, Uncle Carroll would come and visit and my 2 daughters just loved being around him.. He is gonna be missed!!

While I'm very sad to see a dear friend and brother pass, I'm relieved that he no longer suffers. May God bless his soul and he rest in peace. Carroll truly broke the mold. I'll always remember him.

The "Uncle C" I remember was larger than life and he certainly lived life to the fullest! He was always busy with work or projects around the house.If he was awake then he was up and doing. He loved people and loved to entertain. Whether a fish fry, a barbeque, or a formal dinner; you and he were ever gracious, generous hosts who welcomed all who entered your home. He will be missed. Bless you, Candi.
