I'm deeply saddened, as he seemed to be one of those guys who kept going on forever. I guess, I took for granted that Carrol would be around for many years to come.
Obviously even in the recent years, we've seen his involvement, publicly, and I'm certain that there were many private organizations and charities, that he actively participated in.
My sincere condolences to his family, friends, coworkers, loved ones, and enthusiasts around the world.
Unfortunately I am laid up with a broken ankle, and can't go for a tribute drive tonight (there is a local cruise - organized a few days ago - which will take a whole different perspective, of course with this sad news)
We will spend an extra amount of time, when enthusiasts come up and enjoy the car, passing on the special importance that Carrol had to the automotive world.
This happened about 3 weeks ago; A young lad, about 10-11 years old, who could hardly speak English (obviously an out of country visitor) who was having his sister take photos of him, standing beside the car. I scared him, when I beeped the disarm button. "Is this your car? Don't ever sell it!" He says. Then he asks "What kind of song is it?" After a few moments of conversation, we concluded that he wanted to know what it sounded like, and how loud it was!
I said, "Just wait there! We're gonna show you!"
Despite the area being a haven for the local constabulary on Saturday nights, we made the FE "sing!"
Another converted Shelby Enthusiast!
Thanks Carrol, Rest In Peace
