Default John Carroll

I belatedly learned that John Carroll passed away. He was an Estes employee, started the current Hobbytown USA franchise in Omaha, and was a coconspirator in Holverson Designs and Fun Rockets. He had recently starting working with Estes again. I was looking forward to what new stuff that he would do and just getting back together and flying rockets and RC with him. I even had a dream about that a couple of weeks ago. I felt like my feet were a little knocked out from under me when he moved away and I feel like that again now.

I only knew the name, not the man personally. I am sorry for the loss of your good friend and co-conspirator It is sad to loose such talent. May he rest in eternal peace.
