My very deepest condolences to the Carroll family. I grew up on Worth St. and lived kitty-corner to the Carroll homestead. Jack was a great neighbor and his mother one of my best school teachers. Eileen came to my rescue one day when I visited my parents in Fulton and needed baby formula. My oldest child and I shall be ever grateful. I didn’t know Eileen very well but she seemed like a very lively and lovable woman. May God rest her soul.
