    Mr. Whitaker was a favorite here at Vulcan Materials in Penrose. He always had a story to tell and he was always smiling. He sure will be missed around here. We are praying for the family during this time.

    We recently moved to Mills River and before we could unpack Carroll was at our door offering his help in case we needed anything. It was a warm and gracious moment. It's always difficult to move across country and not know anyone! Carroll made us feel welcome. He will be missed. Mark Leet and Dr. Leslie Campbell
