He also served for many years as the SEO for several local townships and as a caretaker for Eaton Township Cemetery. In later years, Carlton spent many hours helping neighbors and family by cutting and splitting firewood as well as repairing cars and equipment. He was an honorable man who loved his family, knew what he believed in, and wanted to help others.

Funeral arrangements will be private as his family honors his request to do so. In his memory, his family asks that you celebrate his home going to heaven by buying a stranger a cup of coffee, sharing watermelon with loved ones around a table, and lending a helping hand to needy neighbors. The family wishes to thank our extended family and friends for their prayers and love. Also, to the staff at Celtic Hospice, God bless you for being the hands of Jesus.
