Memberships:   Carroll was a veteran of the U.S. Army. He was a farmer all of his life. He was strong, honest, highly respected, hard-working man, often from early morning to late night. If it was broken, he fixed it, if it wasn’t available, he would create it. He wouldn’t take no for an answer. He was tender-hearted, kind and gentle man with a giving heart. He would always take time to help out a fellow farmer who was in a tough spot. He was always there when he was needed. He always made us laugh and gave us so many memories to cherish.
