My Dear Cousins, and my Beautiful Aunt Mary, I was so saddened by Uncle Rogers passing. I will always regret not seeing him one last time. He lived a life of honour, and I am proud to have been his Niece.

I would like to send my condolences to the Carter family on Roger's passing. I would also like to express my deep appreciation and gratitude as a graduate of the Program of Legal Studies for Native People ('91). Without the program I would never have had the opportunity to become a lawyer and practice in my community. I hope that through my work I am able to keep his vision alive and pass it on.

Dear Carter Family,
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your father and grandfather. I delighted in the celebration of his life today with the eulogy's, photographs and wonderful singing. But, I also wanted to express to all of you the impact your father's vision has had on me. The existence of the Program for Legal Studies & The Native Law Centre of Canada changed my life and opened a door into law school that probably would not have otherwise been there. It has enriched the quality of both my life and that of my daughter for which i am incredibly grateful.
Rest easy that your Dad is in paradise...in the arms of our Creator.
Meegwetch Dr. Roger Carter.

Dear Mary and Family,
What lovely memories we have of Roger, Mary and the very young Carter children from our years in Saskatoon. How proud we are to have known such warm and accomplished friends. It was fascinating to read of the outstanding initiatives Roger undertook in recent decades. We offer our sympathies while joining in celebrating a life truly well lived.

Roger Carter made our lives better in so many ways, both by his personal influence and the institutions he helped establish. He will be lovingly remembered in the hearts of many and in the history of our province. Sincerest sympathy to all his family.

His smile, quick wit and charm; his get it done attitude and his knowing it could be done.....Roger has left his mark on so many people in so many places in the world. We clamor to tell a "Roger story" today in an effort to touch his life as we mourn together the loss of a visionary. Please know there are thoughts and wishes sent to you, the family, from the people he touched.

To all the Carter families:
It is with tremendous fondness that we remember and honor the Carter family because we the Johnsons and Nana(Kay Montgomery) were next door neighbors for many wonderful years.Memories of our kids growing up with the Carter kids, the sleep overs, the laughter of playing outside, the wonderful food made by Mary and Mrs Irvine enough to feed an army.
When we sold our home and moved to Vancouver it was a sad day for us all, however over the years we always have talked about all the great times we had together. We shall never forget that handsome Roger and Beautiful Mary and their four gorgeous kids.
Our sincere condolences and love go out to all .
God Bless,
Doug and Ruth Johnson and family

To Mark and Lois and the whole Carter family: Our condolences on Roger's passing. Roger was certainly one the best teachers (and people) I came into contact with as a student at the College of Law in the late sevenites. He will be missed but will remain an inspiration to those of us who aspire to the teaching profession. You should be rightfully proud of Roger and all that he contributed to the College and the Native Law Centre. Certainly I feel privileged to have known him.

I had a brief visit with Roger at City Hospital in November, and I was pleased that he remembered me and my family. I will certainly remember his. My condolences to you all. The world has lost a voice for justice, but his work remains.

I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Roger's passing. I remember him fondly - particularly his humour and warmth. My mother, Florence, has told so many stories of Roger and Mary over the years that they both seem embedded in the family folklore - and very loved.
My thoughts are with the whole family, and especially Mary.

Dear Mrs. Carter, my friend Michael, and the rest of the great Carter family,
As I recall many visits and sleep overs at Carter Castle, I have many fond memories of a home filled with a fine mixture of intelligence, beauty, and laughter. I specifically remember my sense of personal victory if I could make Mr. Carter laugh. He was always warm, always sincere. As a kid I thought he should have been an actor in Hollywood. He had that tall, handsome, mysterious side to him. What a fine man. May you find God to be sufficient as your grieve the loss of such a large figure in your lives.
With great respect,
Rev. Colin S. Green

Roger Carter's humour and spirit will live on in the countless students, colleagues, and friends over which he had great influence throughout his life. He was well respected and admired for his generous contributions to the many communities he touched.

My sincere condolences to the Carter family. My husband, Paul, who passed away January 25 of this year articled to Roger and subsequently continued on in the firm for 22 years. We remember many lively social occasions in the Carter household where children and adults mingled and conversed.
Roger was a highly respected lawyer and accademic. I know that Paul would want me to say that Roger was a great mentor from whom he learned much.

My sympathy and prayers go out to the Carter's who loved Roger as a father, grandfather, friend, and teacher. I knew Roger Carter lead a very impressive life, but didn't realize how many great accomplishments he really made until i read this obituary. He was truly a great person, and definitely left his mark in the world.

It was indeed my honor and privilege of knowing your Dad as I worked as his secretary at the Native Law Centre as well as went with him to the Legal Aid Commission. I will treasure all of the information that he taught me over those years and very thankful to have known him.
