Remembering John Carruth

John Carlton Carruth Jr. (JC), age 95 of Jupiter, Florida and formerly of Miami, passed away on March 2, 2022.

Owner of Carruth Roofing Company in Miami, Florida for 56 years, John served on numerous local, state and national association boards including serving as President in 1976 of FRSA. John received the Campanella Award — FRSA's highest honor — in 1978 and was bestowed with Life Membership. John's favorite pastime was riding around the South Florida area pointing out all the roofs he had ever replaced.

As an avid fisherman and "Captain," his favorite passion was hosting family and friends for a day of fun and fishing on his boat "The Leprechaun III" from his home in Key Largo.     

A celebration of John's incredible life will be held at the Woman's Club of Stuart on Thursday, March 17, 2022 at 2:00 pm, location 729 East Ocean Blvd., Stuart, Florida.
