Glenn, So very sorry for your loss. My family and I are praying for you and Gary and family and friends. I will be out of town and will not be able to attend the funeral. Just know that I am thinking about you. I have known you and your family for a long time and value our friendship. Donald Carroll and family.
Don was a great friend. We spent a lot of time driving all over the southeast picking up cars for a Ford dealership. We cut wood and went on a few bus tours, any time I ever called on Don before his health declined he was always available and willing to help. Don was a true friend and I will surely miss him. I look forward to seeing him again.
