The family would like to also acknowledge with great gratitude, his wonderful care-giver Brenda Chatham of Taylorsville for the many years of love, compassion and care she showed to Carlton.  The family would also like to extend their gratitude to Carolina Caring for the compassionate hospice care and their Chaplain for the last three years of his life.

Carlton was a loving son, father and grandfather.  He worked for the county for many years in various roles, such as custodial maintenance for the school system and sheriff's department, and also as a  bus driver for the school system.  He enjoyed his daily cup of coffee at the local Waffle House and never turned down a good steak.  Carlton was also an avid outdoorsman in his earlier years, enjoying hunting and bicycling.  Carlton was a man of faith all the way to the end and we know he was greeted by his parents as he entered into glory.

Memorials may be made to Carolina Caring, 3975 Robinson Road, Newton, NC 28658.

Hartsell Funeral Home of Midland is serving the Baucom family.
