Great Grandchildren also surviving their beloved Pap are Jared, Ryan, Brady and Carter Tolin of Canton, Austin Wehr of Dalton and Mackenzie Horner of Canton as well as several others in Florida. Family was of utmost importance to Pop and Pap. He loved watching all kinds of sports on television, even golf, but was most fond of the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Cavaliers. He enjoyed traveling with his wife, Eileen, taking trips to Montana, Alaska, snowbirding for a few years in Florida, the Panama Canal and Hawaii. In his younger days, he thoroughly enjoyed hunting, fishing and training his beagles...so much so that Carroll and Eileen purchased the "Cabin in the Wood" for the family to enjoy and so they could be closer to their families in southeastern central Ohio. Pap could be found on most days on his swing on the back patio, humming his little rhymes (some of them dirty) and just being outdoors with his dogs. Eileen would like to extend a special thank you to Shawna ,Daryl, Jeanne and Kimmy Jo for helping Carroll when he needed it and the comforting care they gave him. Another special thank you to Aultman Hospice nurses, Joyce, Vicki and Dorothy for your excellent care. "Mimi Wehr would also like to thank her great grandsons Jared and Ryan for hanging out with her and just being there for her and Sarah for shoveling snow."
