C.T. was a walking encyclopedia when it came to sports. To say he was a fan was almost an understatement especially when it came to football. He might not remember his own birthday, but could tell you who and when a special game was played and even the score. C. T. was a member of Central Presbyterian Church in Stamford where he served on the Building and Grounds Committee for many years. C. T. and Carolene spent endless hours volunteering at the Stamford VIP delivering meals on wheels.

He was preceded in death by his parents W. T. and Martha Stovall, and grandparents Clyde and Martha Keitt.
