    Carroll, you always were friendly and fun to talk to. Mary Ann and family… I am so sorry for our loss. He was a good soul and will be missed.

    Mr. Barron was the kindness man you’ll ever meet he will give his shirt off his back to help someone in need. I remember when I was 13 I was his next door neighbor and asked if I can cut his yard this summer and he sd sure so Mr. Barron was my first Boss. Now I live in Texas and every time me and my family come down to visit my mom. Mr Barron always comes out and comes over to see how the family is doing I always love that about him and I’m always going to miss that

    First let me say that I could not attend the the services because of Doctors appointments but am so sorry for OUR loss. My heartfelt condolences to you Mary Ann and the family. You have lost one most dear and I have lost a dear Brother. Believe me I know what it’s like to lose one like that for it has happened, a short time ago, to me. Now I am so sorry that I am so late signing the guest book but had lost it on my computer and just found it today. Carroll was very dedicated to the Masonic and Eastern Star activities. Gone now but, we feel, to a much better place. May the One who knows all and sees all wrap his ever loving arms around you and grant you the peace that you and the family deserve. God bless you and the family during this time of healing.

    I was Carroll and Mary Ann’s next door neighbor for many years, until about 1996, when my wife and I were divorced. I was also a good friend of their son, James Barron, but have since lost touch. I have lived in Texas since 2007, but will always remember my good friends on Tates Mill Road. I’m sorry to hear about his death when I was browsing for my old friends in Arkansas
