Carroll attended Brooklin schools. During his lifetime he hauled lobsters, dug clams and bloodworms, scalloped, deep-sea fished, worked construction and carpentry, hauled wood and co-owned AKCO business with Andy Andrews of Brooklin, as well as owned and operated Four C’s Adirondack Chairs for over 20 years. Carroll was a pillar of the Brooklin community, dedicating many years as constable, clam constable, member of the Shellfish Conservation Committee, forest fire warden, and Brooklin Volunteer Fire Department chief from 1979 to 1987.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camp on Nicatous Lake, watching Red Sox and Patriots games and collecting coins. He was deeply loved by his family and friends and will be sadly missed by all including his dog, Inky.
We would like the community to join us in honoring our father in a celebration of his life with a potluck event to be held at the Brooklin Oddfellows Hall Sunday, June 24, at 1 p.m.
