Carlton was born December 9, 1938 in Canadice the son of Burdette and Ruth (Glover) Hoppough.  He resided in the Canadice area his entire life.  Carlton and Ann Malone were married August 30, 1958 at the Springwater United Methodist Church and together have celebrated over 59 years of marriage.  Carlton’s employment career has spanned a couple different areas.  He retired from the Insulaters Union Local #26 after 26 years.  He then drove bus for the Honeoye School District for 12 years and retired from there.  Farming was in his blood.  He loved working his farm along with others throughout the years.  Carlton also was an active member of Evergreen (Covered Bridge) Cemetery for over 41 years, and served as President for the last 35 years.    

Carlton took great pleasure in farming, hunting and fishing throughout the years. He had a great sense of humor even while in the hospital during his illness.  His family was very important to him as they were the glue that kept him together.  As well as his family, Carlton was very thankful for his Lifetime caregivers, hospital staff as he “never had a bad nurse” and especially Dr. Brian Smith and all the people that have prayed for him.  Carlton did say however, that his home nurses (wife and daughter) were the best!!
