Dear Liz and family,

The image Nancy and I will hold of Kevin Carroll appears in the booklet for the "Fathers & Daughters" album in 1985. You're both smiling, and Kevin has his right hand on Liz's right shoulder. Priceless.

With deepest sympathy,

Mrs. Carroll, Liz, Charles, and Tom,
Tom and I were saddened to hear of Mr. Carrol's passing. Unfortunately, we learned of his death late yesterday. We have so many fond memories of being with Liz and Mrs and Mr. Carroll as he drove us around to some many different dancing events. He was always friendly, kind , and supportive to all of the dancers and musicians.

May he rest in peace.

Hello, Liz and family -- I remember your dad and his accordion; he was always pleasant and supportive of anyone playing Irish music, and I remember the time he and your mother graciously had Miles and I in your home. Sorry for your loss.

Best always, Larry McCullough, Woodbridge NJ

I was sad to hear of the loss of Uncle Kevin. He was a kindly man who always had a laugh to share. I wish I had known him better. I hope that, in time, your sorrow may be replaced with warm memories of the love he shared.

Sincere thoughts of kindess and sympathy for the passing of Kevin. I never met him or heard him play his box but, if Liz, who I know and respect is any proof of his dedication to family and music, then his legacy is an honor he has shared with all of us.

My heart goes out to Tom and Liz. I am sorry I did not meet your da, but to go by those he has given to the world, he was a great one. There'll be prayers in the Eucharistic Adoration chapel, and here at home I'll be sure to hoist a Tully and play a tune, for him and for you.

Mr.Carroll,
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

My deepest condolences to Eileen, Tom and Liz.

November 20, 2009

My deepest sympathy to Aunt Eileen, Tom and Liz......I have great memories of Uncle Kevin....my favorite is his coming over to our house and bringing the biggest bag of Christmas toys I had ever seen to all of us kids of Roger & Nora, nor will I ever forget Saturday mornings listening to him play the accordian, with Uncle Johnny playing the spoons and Uncle Dan and my dad singing along. Thank God for giving us such comforting memories.
