Carlton especially enjoyed making memories with his family and was a member of a bowling league for many years. He loved Maryland crabs and ice cream cones.

Carlton retired from and worked many years at (NASA) The Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station before becoming an independent Level 3 NACE Inspector which he did until his death. He was well liked every where he went and he is known for his quick humor. He was very caring and he was kind to everyone who met or knew him. When Carlton was climbing high towers as an Inspector he always felt closer to God, literally and spiritually.

He was a Seminary Student as a young adult. He was college educated at Baltimore City College and received a degree at Nova Southwestern University.

Special Thanks to the staff at Holmes Regional Health Center in Melbourne, Florida.

We will always carry your memory in our hearts forever.
