To Barbara Ann and the Carson Family, Bill Carson was a special kind of man to us. We had so many great memories over the years when he first visited us in Florida. Bill was friends with my dad for years until he died in 2011. Like my dad, he served in the Army for over 20 years. We'll never forget his smile, his humor, and his remarkable service to the military and the community where he lived. We give our condolences and may God bless you and give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. The Kemp Family, St. Cloud, FL

Dearest Bridgette, Barbara and family, we give our sincerest condolences. We can't help but think about all of the wonderful family visits during our days at ECSU and how Billy and Barbara made you feel just like one of their own children.

I am going to miss Billy; the coffee, Gunsmoke Perry Mason, and how he encouraged me from time to time. Thank you Barbara for the cube steak and that beef brisket. Mostly Barbara I think you for your kindness and making me feel right at home. Barbara you showed Billy love/unconditional love; you watched over him, make sure his medicine was right, made sure he had good enjoyable food, and you encourage him in the Lord.

#lovedfamily! Billy loved family and he loved to share. There was nothing but joy on his face when he handed you a bag of fruit or what ever! My grandson was only months old when he visited Billy but they bonded so very well. I will never forget that day. Barbara, his face always lit up when he spoke of you and the children. Thanks for loving my cousin. Love Vickie

I was blessed to have met this awesome man through his daughter, Bridgette (my former school principal) and Mr. Alfred Barfield. He was very inspirational, comical and left such a great impression on me and my life on how to be a hardworking man. I will always remember his encouragement and importance to pursue education and building a foundation in life. That was a memory of my childhood I will never forget. Praying the strength of God reaches the Carson family during this difficult time. God shall get you through. - Steven White, Jr.
