Army where he served honorably from 1945 to 1947. Charles is a graduate of the Ohio State University class of 1950. After graduating he moved to Akron with his wife Mary Jean (Brown) to raise his family and begin a long and successful career in the rubber industry. After working for Union Carbide and Goodrich Rubber Company he started Burton Rubber Processing located in Burton, Ohio. Under his direction, Burton Rubber grew to have four locations in several states. His business philosophy was to always provide a superior quality product and he followed the motto: "The customer is always first." Charles retired to South Carolina in 1988 and pursued his lifelong passion for genealogy and history. His research and documentation of both the Carroll and Brown families is a blessing for his children and grandchildren. Charles' other passions included tree farming and real estate development. The Carroll family deeply thanks Rickey Gosnell, Amy Keim, Renetta Horton-Greene, Beth Wolfe, Bobbie Brown, and Ed and Helen Mileski for their love and assistance during their father's retirement and caring for him as his health declined. All of you are forever in our prayers. A family service was held April 6, 2009 at Ciriello & Carr Funeral Home in Fairlawn, Ohio with Fr. Michael Marco, S.J. presiding.
