"Carroll was a great mentor to me. We started working together in 1964 in Columbia mo. He was the boss I was the student. we both came to Quincy together. Carroll always had great advice in 1965 we both bought new mustangs Carroll told me don't worry if you cant pay for it the bank will come and get it. Carroll was one of the hardest working people I have known he stayed until the job was done. may you rest in piece old friend."

"Carroll was the best friend my father had. I spent a lot of time at his garage growing up. He let my dad work on his truck there and my dad helped Carroll work on his trucks. I learned the value of hard work, persistence and how to develop creative solutions from those two men. Sorry for your loss."
