- <p> DIED. Tom Carvel, 84, who parlayed a $15 loan from his
- wife-to-be into a megabucks ice-cream company; in Pine Plains,
- N.Y. Launching his venture from a roadside stand in 1934,
- Carvel turned it into a 700-store chain. Along the way he
- became widely known for the folksy radio and television
- commercials he narrated in a voice as rough as gravel.
