I worked on the New Jersey Turnpike with Trooper Carroll when his life ended so soon. I always respected and looked up to Bill as a very "squared away Trooper", as we would see each other when our shifts changed. It is so difficult to understand why God takes away the great ones at such young ages and with such great promise. Once thing is for sure I will never forget Bill for being the true professional and good person he was.
