I have been away this winter and just learned of Dr. Carroll's passing. I was a graduate student under John's supervision in 1968-70. I had returned to Western after a tour of duty in the RCAF with a young family and was very apprehensive about my decision to pursue an MSc. in the newly emerging field of computer science. Dr. Carroll took me under his wing and with great enthusiasm for the subject matter and understanding for my situation, inspired my interest and gave me the necessary confidence to succeed. His instruction and guidance played a major part in my eventual career path. I'm sure there are many others whose lives were influenced similiarly by John. My heartfelt sympathies to Mrs.Carroll and family. Phil McLellan
