My dad Jamie Carroll and Roger were long time friends. For many years while I was young Roger was always a constant in my life. He was a good man, soft spoken, funny and loved coaching at the Sheldon Little League right along my dad( Jamie Carroll ),
Bobby Ford & Rickie Zatopek. He not just loved football but truely cared about the kids he coached. My prayers of comfort & healing go out to his family. He will forever be missed.
So many memories! A lifetime full! I remember him sitting me in the bathroom sink and helping me pull my stitches out of my lip when I was 7. He will be missed for sure!
I remember Mr Eden from the time he poured into the youth at Sheldon Sports Complex. He always had the kids’ best interest in mind and gave his time selflessly. A great man who leaves a legacy of positive influence on the Sheldon community. He certainly will be missed.
My dad was the kindest, most loving, funniest person I’ve ever known. He always had my back 100% of the time whether I was right or wrong. He never had too much to say but I remember during a particular difficult time on one of our talks on the backyard swing he told me “Rebecca, you just have to roll with the punches” He then went on to give me a whole boxing lesson on exactly what that meant. I never forgot those words and now I keep going and keep my chin up because his spirit is within me. I love him so much and can’t wait to see him again on the other side—until then, I love you Dad—forever and always
