Although Carrol was known for the golden toothpick he sported, his true identity was even more golden. Carrol had a huge heart and loved big. He loved his family and was a true family man. He was a friend to many, and had many friends. Carrol never looked down on anyone unless he was helping them up or helping them out. He gave of his talent and time while painting houses for those who were in need, made donations of all sorts, and generously invested in the future of his nieces and nephews. Carrol loved his country and was a true patriot. He was the proud father of a US Marine and was a huge supporter of the South Louisiana Veteran Outreach. Carrol also involved himself in community activities and was a board member of Children’s Water Safety Awareness. Carrol will forever be remembered for his quick-witted humor, his constant smile, and the twinkle in his eye.
