I am so sorry for your loss. I grew up on Maple Dr. and all of us kids played on my street, Redwood Dr. and others for many years. Dave, I remember your Dad as a very nice man. Even after I married and had kids I would bring them down to the neighborhood for Halloween. Your father remembered me and talked with my sons. Again I am so sorry that he has gone.

Mrs. Carpenter, Dave, Carol and families...
My deepest condolences on the passing of Mr. Carpenter. He was very quick witted, telling things just as how it was. I enjoyed quite a few conversations with him, when he stopped over to his friend Lud's house and I happened to be there. May he rest in peace.
