Carrol, his wife Jo, and their family moved to Gettysburg, PA in 1957, where he founded AgRotors Inc.

Doc served on the Board of Directors of Helicopter Association International, and later in life had a passion for collecting and restoring antique helicopters. He was active in the Rotary Club, and stayed in Gettysburg until retiring to New Harbor, Maine in 1984.
