I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr Carter. I had him at North Wilkes High in the late 70's/early 80 in Math and he was a good Teacher and made math fun by being silly.

He was one of my favorite teachers throughout high school and made me enjoy math more and hate it less. He made us all sports fans and we loved him for it. Heaven has gained another member

My deepest condolences to Pauline, Linda and the family. Whenever I think of my time in high school, I think of Jerry. He was a mentor to me inside and outside of the math classroom. There are many fond memories of going to basketball games with Jerry, working alongside him in the concession store. He will be missed greatly. Peace to you and your family.

Mrs. Carter and Linda, so sorry to hear about your husband/father's passing. I can still visualize him standing in the doorway of his class room. He was a smart, comical man that I thought highly of. Wishing you the peace that only God can provide during this time. God blessings be with you all.
