Born in Crisfield, Md., in 1919 to Herbert and Cora Lee Washington Tull, Carlton started working at the DuPont plant in Seaford in 1940 and retired in July 1981.

He was also an avid golfer and longtime member of the Seaford Golf and Country Club, where he honed his skills on the course. Carlton will be remembered as a loving husband and father and caring friend.
