Condolences

  1. It’s the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you’ll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles.
    My sincere condolences to the Carlton family.

  2. John Carlton was special. To begin with, most folks I knew addressed him as “JOHNCARLTON”….as if it was one word. I can’t remember anyone calling him John although I did hear Johnny on occasion. I have seen JOHNCARLTON only once in the past 25 years but I will always remember his stories, his career as security at Pennzoil Towers, his ability to repair just about any vehicle, and his carpentry skills. Most of all, I will miss his smile, his crossed legs at the kitchen table, and his ever-present cup of coffee. JOHNCARLTON……you Sir, will be missed.
