Carol, often as local Veterans of Foreign Wars chapter commander, played taps as a final tribute to many of America’s war veterans. This time, it’s Carol’s turn to receive the honor for service to his country.
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.
While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

Carol’s final resting place, fittingly, will be the Western Reserve National Cemetery. Carol served America in Korea.
Carol lived behind No. 2 hole at Akron’s Good Park golf course until he moved to Rockynol, where the retirement card
that BJ artist Chueck Ayers drew was attached to the entrance door to his room.
