Carlos was a multifaceted man. You name it he could fix it, whether it was rebuilding an engine, remodeling a home or just helping set up his wife’s yard sales. He also loved the solitude of nature whether it was being outdoors on his bass boat fishing or camping at Kentucky Lake in his RV.
He was a man of few words, but when he spoke he had something to say. His greatest passions were watching the Cincinnati Reds and NASCAR on TV, and loved going to both the Florence and Kentucky Speedways.
Carlos was preceded in death by his daughter's Linda Jean Herring (2003) and Deborah Lynn Smith (2013). Sisters Mary Campbell, Wanda Sturgil, Betty Herring and brother, Nelson Herring.
