I'm so so sory to learn of Carltons passing. Life can still shock us no matter what age we are.

I remember when Linda and Carlton first met all those years ago. I thought.... no, they were too young to stand the test of time. Boy was I wrong!!!
Carlton always displayed a kindess and care that I knew was genuine. I had no doubt that Carlton was Linda's soulmate and that this was their forever journey together.

A journey that has been cut short which seems so terribly unfair.

Love to you Linda 🫂.

Go well Carlton. ❤️

When I heard the news of the death of Carlton I could hardly believe it.
The way you always cared for people and most definitely for me, having my back as we started a secondment that neither of us were sure about.
I have many memories of you helping me, guiding me, holding me up when I didn’t believe in myself. I will forever be grateful!!
The love you had for Linda and your children was like no other. You were always proud, used ‘tough love’ messages for your boys but was proud all at the same time. Sending all the family hugs knowing that you are now in internal peace my friend.
Love Jean xz

I remember Carlton. I knew of him many years ago- when we were both Bus drivers at NCT.
We sat and talked over meals many times in the canteen particularly on king street.
Nice guy.
I often wondered what became of him (and others) as each of our journeys change and progress.
Won’t be able to make it. I’m in the north east.
Condolences to the family.
RIP.

Carlton!

We haven't spoken in recent years but you were a big part of mine & many others life in the OG Unity days & the news really did choke me up & bring me to tears. Carlton, WHAT NO WAY!

You welcomed me into the team all those years ago & we had many a jokes & life chats & no matter the situation (sometimes serious) you were always there with a smile, jokes & wisdom.

You were a doting Father & Husband (& now Grandfather in later years) & I know you will be loved & cherished forever by all that loved you.

I met Linda a couple of times & your relationship & love for each other was admirable & inspring!

Sending so much love to Linda, the boys & all the family.

May you rest in peace & continue with your light-hearted jokes, laughs & smile up there! Stay out of trouble!!!

Holly
Xx
