Dr. Robert Allen Carroll, 68, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, friend, 
mentor and Christian, went to be with his Lord, Saturday, September 22, 2012, 
at his residence, surrounded by his family and friends. He was the husband of

Born January 31, 1944, in El Dorado, AR, he was a son of the late Robert L.

public relations at York College. He earned accreditation as a public
